Had to laugh. He who must obey retired on Friday and received his Fuel Allowance on Monday. When he opened the letter there it was in black and white - £100. “Hey, what’s this?” he said, “I thought I get £200?” that’s correct dear, says I, "it’s per household, not per person. If it was, it would be grossly unfair to those living alone. When you applied, instead of me getting the normal £200, in future, you will get £100 which they take off mine and I will get £100.He looked so disappointed. He said: “What was the point in me applying then?” he said. “None at all dear” said I. 
I thought it was £200 per person when I first applied ,bit of a let down to get half . Still its better than nothing …
I received my payment on Monday followed by the letter today what a waste of money sending all those letters out…
I get £200, presumably because I live alone and perhaps due to my age? It went straight to Scottish Power for gas and electric.
My £200 went on a few bottles of Whisky…Well it keeps the Jocks employed.
Waste of Money should be stoped.
Oh no it shouldn’t … 
Oh yes it should:-D
Oh no it shouldn’t … * hiss boo … dons pantomime costume* … Look behind you!
We’ve both got ours now, a week apart but both now in the bank.
I do think we’ve earned our few perks, having worked and paid our taxes for 40+ years.
Oh no, it shouldn’t. It’s an absolute godsend. When we bought this house many years ago there was an electricity meter installed. I was well chuffed! I know we pay more per year but I go straight to the corner shop and buy £100 of electricity on the key, No bill for Leccy. the other £100 is towards the winter gas bill.
Very grateful for this payment and use it as it should be used.
HWMO also got a letter saying he had been awarded a £10 Christmas bonus. Has anyone else had theirs yet? I haven’t.
I’ll do the same, as I can expect a huge bill in a couple of months. I’ll go to the post office, withdraw it, and put it straight onto the Energycard. I’ll be in credit for the £200 till the bill arrives, but then it’s going to the right place. I get a pension tomorrow so can afford to lose it. (She says, paying out money L, R and C on doggy things!)
yippy,i have the letter:-)so I presume dosh is in the bank:-)
Think you are still paying over the odds with your method of payment.
I have a standing order and pay in the summer months the same I pay in the winter months and with a mild winter get money back.
Plus the fact that you are charged more for your energy than I am.
That’s why I spend the £200 on drink it’s all payed before I have to use it.
Bought a load of logs for £115
