I'm in the market for a new fridge freezer. (Standard size)

Anyone any recommendations for one that is about as energy efficient as it can be that doesn't cost the earth?

Cheers

should i be getting £650 cash hand out ? not had a bean.

After 20th Sept for the PIP £150. And £66 off Oct-Mar for the other £400.

I hope no one fixed at £5,800 a year like I was quoted.

My quote to fix is £8700. Tbh I was just planning on not paying anymore than I do now. Basically a big fucking fuck you to the energy company

what happens to all the rich people everywhere who's bill is much more than £2500 per year anyway?

some in big houses will pay a small fortune anyhow,what happens to them

They’ll pay much more.

The cap basically limits the cost of a KWH that was forecast to be 52p to about 35p for electricity and about 10p for gas.

Well ...that's what their quote said. I'm not a contracts expert

If they used the word penanlty they can't enfocre it, as it would be reasonable to assume it is a penalty.

I very much doubt they would say it is a penalty in writting though.

Are you on any benefits bill ?

only pip and oap.

Just tried to do another quote to see exactly what it said and do a screen shot but their site isn't allowing any now. I assume due to current events.

This is British Gas by the way. Whatever the wording they used it was a £200 charge to leave the contract.

edit -

What are exit fees and will I have to pay them?​

If you’re on a fixed rate tariff, you may be asked to pay an exit fee to leave your contract early. If you’re not sure, you can find out by checking the terms and conditions for your tariff by logging in to your account online. This fee doesn’t apply if you leave us within the final 49 days/ seven weeks of the fixed rate tariff.

It is for people on pension credit and means tested benefits and universal credit ,if you did qualify you would have recieved half of it already

If you have savings I think you're fucked. It's all means tested now isn't it?

 

[Bill]

Do you qualify for attendance allowance?

don't know but i still work, does that count ?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Just reading about it, you can’t be on AA and PIP at the same time.

Apologies. It’s not a means-tested though.

 

[hammocity]

Thanks ,have them in the hall and kitchen but the bedroom has a low energy traditional bulb

Still won’t cost you much but LED’s do last longer as well. It’s sad and disturbing people are so afraid of the Energy increases they are making these radical changes. Winter will be be shockingly expensive.

thanks for checking . never done benefits so clueless . i've been a lucky lad .
fucked now mind :)

 

[denislawsbackheel]

No they are not means tested.
You can get PIP up to retirement age.
AA after retirement.

 

[mancityvstoke]

No

I wasn't referring to attendance allowance pal. We were discussing the Govt cost of living money for people on Universal Credit. If you have savings over a certain amount you don't qualify for Universal credit or pension credit.

Wonder if she’s been hanging on to see Johnson out of office.

I think she met Truss and thought whats the fucking point…

• Those who receive the following disability benefits may be eligible for the one-off payment of £150 in September: Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Scottish Disability Benefits (Adult Disability Payment and Child Disability Payment), Armed Forces Independence Payment, Constant Attendance Allowance and War Pension Mobility Supplement.
• Those who had confirmed payment of their disability benefit for 25 May are expected to be paid shortly after the payment window opens. For those awaiting confirmation of their disability benefits on 25 May, or who are waiting to be assessed for eligibility to receive disability benefits, the process may take longer but payments will still be automatic.
• You must have received a payment (or later receive a payment) of one of these qualifying benefits for 25 May 2022 to get the payment.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

You should get £300 winter fuel allowance if you were born before 1956.
£150 cos you are on PIP.
£400 over 6 months for your electricity.

£250 unless you’re 80, isn’t it?
