Re: First Electricity Bill

We use those oil-filled electric radiators - with timer and thermostat. They're fine for heating a closed room, the bedroom before you get up or go to bed and aren't that expensive to run...

Re: DWP and State Pension - hope we've done the right thing

I wonder if that was because it was associated with the pension you were already claiming, rather than Mrs Wol claiming independently?

I know my mum was paid her own pension as a result of my...

Re: DWP and State Pension - hope we've done the right thing

I have not taken my pension, which I was entitled to 5 years ago. I deferred my pension by not claiming it. I am now claiming it and am entitled to 5 years' worth of increased pension or lump sum....

Re: DWP and State Pension - hope we've done the right thing

Not for money :lol:

We're here on 410 retirement visas, having retired early/taken redundancy in the UK when the oil price dropped to $10 a barrel and nobody wanted us to look for it any more.

Re: DWP and State Pension - hope we've done the right thing

Scouse could have saved himself some trouble by just not filling in the form. You only need to fill in the form when you actually claim the pension - the deferrment happens automatically until you do...

Re: Mental health issues, visa health check advice

This reply is exactly why you should try and get the depression relieved. You probably wouldn't have said that if you weren't depressed. Life and other people are so much nicer when you don't have...

Re: Mental health issues, visa health check advice
