I'm finding it difficult to understand the new conditions for the £140, now £150 heating allowance.
It used to be PIP/DLA, receiving the SRP/and a means tested benefit - GPC.
They seem to have dropped that in favour of having excessive heating costs and with income on or below the poverty level.
Not now getting GPC it appears that I can still get this payment.
