[Dingle-Dingle]

After months of delay and worry caused to her my 84 year old mother has finally recieved her £140 warm home payment credited to her elcetricity account. This is a government scheme which has been delayed this year. Normally paid in December to help the elderly stay warm over the winter months without worrying about the cost of heating. Imagine my surprise when checking her bill.........
Warm home payment £140. VAT @ 5% £6.66p. Total credit £133.34p.

Don't know about it being generally delayed this year Dingle, my aunt's was credited in December as normal, I only know as I make the application each year for her.  Maybe go back and ask what went wrong so it does not happen again.

It`s not the delay that I`m ranting at..... Why is a benefit subject to VAT. DD
