I applied for the electric blanket & energy

1. Hot water bottles and heat bags last maybe 1.5h in dire cold, don't know where you live, maybe in the Caribic, Hawaii, Jamaica or Mallorca.
2. Humans had a thorough coating of fur back then and now suffer the consequence of getting the flu twice / thrice yearly on average

Well aren't we glad you are so able-bodied, what about the rest of us temperature-dependent disabled folks out there? Get the stick, get the shaft? Shall we just all abandon any comfort for your single-minded narrative?

It is your fault, everything is your fault, I thought you knew that?! :-P

I haven't, none of it, not even a confirmation email from scope.

Well that's the gist of it, the original webpage on scope mentions nothing of "Warm Home Discount", albeit that discount is being discontinued as well. This £150 is additionally also supposed to be a separate payment from utility provider's own fund for the vulnerable, as it was claimed by them not by the charity Scope. So in total there are 3x potential funding sources.

Makes sense, it is indeed confusing, I think we can all attest to that. As for me, I don't see why errors have to be explained or justified on this forum, you seem very understanding and a tolerant person, and unless you are getting rudely spoken to with bare facts, disengenuous help and platitudes and no mention of emotions like a few bad apples on here can make you think, I wouldn't worry. : )
