I hope it's Ok, putting this on here, and not breaking any rules or anything!
I have just found out (on another forum) that British Gas are offering winter rebates of between £20 and £60, depending on what fuel you have from them. However, you have to register by 31st December!
Details as follows................
'URGENT! If you receive means-tested benefits you can claim a 60 quid rebate from British (or Scottish) Gas, though you must claim before 31 DEC 2005.
They are giving out rebates of £60 on winter bills - it is paid in two installments in November and February. The rebate is worth £40 for gas customers, £20 for electricity, i.e. £60 for customers getting both.
Check to see if you’ve received a form with your gas bill or call 0845 602 2008 and press 1 for Winter Fuel Rebate. All you need is your account details and they’ll arrange it for you.
It's for British (or Scottish) Gas customers only and you have to be on one of the following benefits:
Vulnerable Customer - Eligible Benefits
• Disability living allowance
• Pension Credit
• Attendance allowance
• War disablement pension which includes either a mobility supplement or constant attendance allowance
• Disablement pension which includes constant attendance allowance
• Child tax credit where the relevant income is £14,600 or less
• Working tax credit where the relevant income is £14,600 or less
• Council tax benefit
• Housing benefit
• Income-based job seekers allowance
• Income support
• Carers Allowance
• Severe Disability allowance'
........it's taken from the Moneysavingexpert.com website....not sure how to do a link.
Anyway, I've rang the number, registered Dad, who is in receipt of attendance allowance due to AD, and he will be getting his rebate!!
Hope this may be of use to some of you out there,
Best Regards
