    The idea that governments get policy decision details correct first time is not supported by any historical evidence. 

    This is just another example of government carelessness with quite major consequences.

    It will be corrected in due course.

    Just spoke to a very rude woman on the AFP helpline who wasn't really interested and said the scheme will never change and that only receipts after 01/09/22 will be accepted. She even hung up on me after I asked who I could speak to to provide feedback to!

    Does anyone know if you buy oil today, can you then claim the £200?

    There's nothing to say not if you apply before 31 May when applications close. But then prior to this Tuesday, there was nothing to say you would only get this allowance if you purchased after Sep22 and didn't get it automatically.

    I need to top up (after this cold snap - heating is back on!) so will try that tactic if the Sep22 nonsense stays.

    Utter shambles.

    Two days later and still cannot get hold of my Calor supplier to see if they can provide copy receipts of my purchase.  Cannot order any gas either, constantly on answerphone saying they will ring back, and don't.  I wonder if they are being swamped with calls about receipts for the AFP.

    Perhaps if MPs were all inundated with complaints (not just Grant Shapps) they might have to acknowledge and maybe even do something about it.

     I emailed my MP on Tuesday. He is pretty good at working for his constituents.

    There's nothing anywhere to say you can't - you are simply asked to submit  receipt dated after 1st September. I'd be confident you'll be on a safe bet if you do this and other than ordering a bit earlier than you otherwise would have done you don't stand to lose a lot by trying.

    Received copies of the receipts from Calor today.  Will try to make a claim now.
