Hi, I put up the topic....

Very mixed some were eligible, some missed the deadline. Which energy supplier are you with?

I looked at this also, as far as I'm aware there is no money in the pot until sometime in may, not worth applying until then.

Hello Philip,
thanks for your reply, my energy company said that there was no money left in december which seems strange when we are in the depths of winter !

I inquired after reason the same post. Im with British gas for my electricity. They said it also finished in December and to apply in may. I can't understand that everyone isn't even notified about this as it 1st I have heard about it.

Hi, tinaparkii, I wondered if people new about it, hence I posted the original question. It seems to be a "well kept secret"

hey but not anymore - cat is out of the bag now

even my terminally ill mother with cancer (72yrs) didn't know about it and it is not automatic as the DWP say. So I rang up my mother's supplier in November and yes she was eligible so got it.

After reading my reply meant be4 not reason. Ha. Glad U got it for ur mum. The weather been terrible ain't it. And the heating cost so much. I have storage heaters which R very expensive and they come on in the night. Which kills me to be honest but to cold all day if I don't use them. But come teatime and the things R merely even warm so im freezing till go bed and use my electric blanket to get me warm. Just love my water bottle to keep my hands warm. I have recently bought an oil heater to use now from teatime as its just to cold not to av any heating at all. So wud av come in very handy this year but as U say we no now. Thank you. X
