so we all get £400 -in the bank or off our bill?

no idea Ros, not a scooby of how it's paid and who gets what, considering it's set to rise 800 again in October, it's still not covering the rise this year by a long way

If you pay by direct debit Ros it will go straight into your bank ….

yes pay by DD monthly - still not had my £150 yet though - bliddy WCBC not paid out yet

@Baz posted:

Yes , you and I get the extra 300 …everyone that gets the warm fuel allowance ……people on pension credit get another 150 on top of that I think .

so we get the 400 discount, plus the 300...it's a help but it's just going to cover the rise in October, not the March one

Everyone gets the £400 rebate …pensioners get another 300 on top …people on benefits get 650…and people on disability get another 150 as well …I think

I don’t want it either ….but I will feel a bit better once they’ve worked out why it’s spreading to so many countries that have never had it before …

Knowing my luck, I would get the bloody boils

Yes, that’s the worrying bit imo ….not for my age …but it’s not good for the younger generation
