    Morning all. I'm putting a list together of anybody who has requested a blanket but not heard back. I'll add all who have already raised it on this chat but please shout up if you've not yet commented but haven't heard.

    Best wishes,

    Holly.

    I have, at long last - heard from them - it appears that they underestimated the number of people who are interested in a voucher and the throw !

    Heard from DES this morning - Energy vouchers will be sent shortly by email or txt - they send them on Thursdays - so, hopefully today ?

    well i'm phoning up the number, they really should have a queue number so you know where you are in the queue, instead of that message telling you they know you are waiting, so annoying

    Still haven't heard a thing, not one thing.

    i spoke to a nice chap earlier once i had finally got through and they hadn't even started processing it, he assured me he would get it done today and should have my blanket in 7 - 10 days, now the wait begins

    It's going to be at least another week until we receive any vouchers - they only process vouchers on Thursdays !!

    Plus - you need a mobile phone to receive them - they need a mobile number to process the vouchers…
