Answer 2

I must be missing out on something or too young yet to participate. I am on a budget, and I have to make the payment on my own.It increased this winter already by $14 a month anticipating the high fuel prices.

Answer 3

well it depends being married isn't really the important thing

it's £200 per household or £300 if there is someone over 80.

So 2 people under age 80 and not in receipt of pension credit would receive £100 each. (2 people over 80 would get £150)
If someone is in receipt of Pension Credit they receive the full £200 or £300.

If there's more than 2 people in the house and noone receives pension credit (and they're all under 80) then they all receive £100

Answer 4

What type of fuel? Oil, gas, coal, electric, or ??? I live in California & haven't had to use a heater for 15 years! Most of our heating systems use natural gas or electricity. Some older buildings still use steam heat!

Answer 5

We too make a monthly budget plan payment all year round. The only way to go in Minnesota.

Answer 6

Has my around the corner neighbor stated " gasoline fee cuts to hit hundreds of thousands of pensioners yet no cuts to distant places help, what we want is a central authority that placed the British people a million,2,3"

Answer 7

I would guess the payment would be the same. It takes the same amount to heat the house to a given temperature no matter how many people are there.

Answer 8

Depends on the size of the area they are heating

£200.00
