Universal credit is the main one but loads of us are still on the old style ones like esa and pips so we have had no help through covid or to my understanding this new package bar the £150 for disability , need to wait and see i guessPlus £400 for every household.
Plus £650 (paid in 2 lump sums) for people on benefits (which I assume you are).
Grand total of £1200.
Which is a damn sight more than what was paid out when we last had an energy crisis in the mid 1970s.
(Sweet FA was what was given out by the Labour government then.)

You should be eligible for the £650 as I understand it. If you are on PIP you’ll also get £150, and the £400 grant.Universal credit is the main one but loads of us are still on the old style ones like esa and pips so we have had no help through covid or to my understanding this new package bar the £150 for disability , need to wait and see i guess

Personal care has shot up along with everything else so it has been a bummer we didnt get the universal credit money during covid , hopefully we get a decent amount coming in , it will all help, as always i need to see the exact details as people think everyone on benefits is on ucSame boat here. The Mrs is on ESA and PIP. We got the £150 but also got another £30 from somewhere last night.

Thanks for that , i will ask , i thought we had to just wait , is now a good time though , they will know , taOn Martin Lewis he said you could ask to be moved over. He said book an appointment with benefits consultant or whatever they are called and they’ll tell you if you’re better off moving over or not - and if you are you can request to be moved. Eventually you’re going to get moved anyways so if you’re better off moving might as well do it now.

I'm a thick **** though and don't get how it all works.
It stinks of corruption to me.
I've now got a fucking headache you ****In basic terms... Southern Gas buy their supply a year ahead, in bulk, at todays prices from the energy makers. They then sell it onto us at an extortionate rate quoting investment in the system (pipes etc), shareholders to pay dividends, tax to the government and a very small profit...
They, and say Shell the people who get the stuff out of the ground, then make a huge profit and everyone is happy...
Apart from the end customer. Us.
Electricity is higher as we mostly ditched the cheapest option, nuclear, in favour of, and this is a doozy, burning gas to make electricity with a bit of wind and water power thrown in. This is then sold to the companies, then sold to you via the grid at an extortionate price.

you're not helping my headache you ****Refining is the answer. The gas and oil we get at a well head isn’t any use until it’s refined. We’ve lose huge refining capacity from Russia invasion of Ukraine and we don’t have enough capacity in the world to make up for it as domestic refining capacity in the west has reduced significantly over the years. That leaves us with refined product prices are through the roof. 198.9p a litre I saw for diesel last night at one garage I stopped off at. £2 a litre!! Fuck me
Utter bollocks. If you don’t know that you probably think the Tories are doing great. It’s on that level of stupidity.Supported by 100% English and offshore investment.
