    DWP obviously have more money on hand since cutting my heating allowance!

    At lunchtime today, I received 2 almost identical messages from them telling me to apply for my £300 allowance.

    What is really clever is that they are obviously working from home as both numbers are mobiles. There must also be some sophisticated software in use to be able to extract and process data from a form you submit.

    Do you think if I respond to both numbers I'll actually get £600?

    Just beware everyone, there are people out there who actually believe that everybody is a sucker!
