Have you checked yours?

Thanks Chris.

Not that I have it anyway but is this the one that we have to pay back next year or is that an entirely separate issue?

[Ken4155]

This is a gift.

[FatticusInch]

Thanks Ken,

Hopefully no Greeks involved?

never thought you were on the rock and roll ken.

Fatti 10:13, this is giving free money to people who already get free money to top up the fags and white lightening fund.

[sandyRoe]

I suppose those of us who drive will be able to get a full tank of petrol with it.
Mind's not arrived yet.

>>> is this the one that we have to pay back next year or is that an entirely separate issue?

It's a separate issue.

Further, 'the one that has to be paid back' no longer does anyway. The original proposal was to give everyone a £200 discount off their energy bills, to be repaid over 5 years. However Rishi Sunak later doubled the discount to £400 and scrapped the requirement for it to be paid back.

sandy, surely you are not a benefits claimant??

[Ken4155]

ttt, haven't been on the 'rock 'n' roll' since Thatcher was in power.

[sandyRoe]

TTT,
Indeed I am. In the past I paid in so now it's only right I take what's due to me

[Buenchico]

TTT seems to be unaware that
(a) 1.4 million pensioners are in receipt of Pension Credit ; and
(b) 40% of people in receipt of Universal Credit are in employment.
