in Start here and say hello!

I am a married OAP, on PIP. My daughter keeps on at me to claim a reduction on my water, council tax, and to see if I’m entitled to a warm weather allowance. Can anyone help I am on

    Heya @chrisx and a warm (maybe too warm today?) welcome to the community. 😁

    The warm weather allowance is automatically added in if you're eligible for it, so there's no need to claim. It's worth remembering that it is not a direct payment, but rather a reduction applied to your electricity bill.

    For council ta reductions, just click here and follow the instructions.

    For water bills, You'll need to check eligibility, but that would be the Watersure scheme, which you apply for by contacting your local water provider.

    Hope that all helps. 😁
