Octopus support when loosing WFA

Options
I contacted Octopus 10 days ago when I saw they were helping people loosing WFA 
They rang me on Wednesday this week and went through my income and expenditure took about 25 mins 

I was told a decision would be made within the week 

Today I received an email advising I had been awarded and credited to my account £100 plus a 6 month holiday on daily standing charges. 

I am amazed and delighted

  • Did they ask about savings? or was it just about income?

  • Did they ask about savings? or was it just about income?
    Just income didn't ask about savings but I declared a small amount of housing benefit  so maybe that was why 
  • just hope people dont abuse it and goes to the people that really do need it
    and well done octopus

    After loosing the WFA octopus emailed about benefit checks,  I know I'm not eligible for pension credit due to small works pension. 

    I completed their income and expenditure over the phone. 

    10 days later my account has been credited with £100 and shortly a 6 month standing charge holiday. 

    Amazed and delighted
