Title: Warm Home discount...
Post by: TD on 23 July 2017, 10:33:03
I mentioned this a few years ago....

But thought I would again, as my energy supplier has just emailed me to apply...

Its time and how many people apply limited.....

But if you qualify..get in quick...its worth the few mins filling out the application form for a £140 rebate off your energy bill  :y

That's the 'core' group.....theres also the 'broader' group...where you can apply....

Different energy companies have different rules....heres mine...

Apparently I am too wealthy to qualify. :o

I'll just wait for my £250 winter fuel payment instead! :D ;)

Like everything else .. if you have made provision for your own "old age" by saving /  investing then you are entitled to nowt... in fact you are expected to provide for the "less well off"....

if you squander everything on having a good time with no consideration for the future..then the rest of the taxpayers, including those with the brains to think ahead, will support you, whether they want to or not ....

I'm in the process of switching (again), so CBA messing around. Thought I'd try ENGIE to get away from the big six, but their online offering was pretty amateur.

The average household pays £269pa in energy subsidies. Get rid of this crony capitalism and every household will be that amount better off every year. :y :y :y

Have a revolution and set up a communist state!
