Fuel costs continued

Two blogs back I wrote about the fact that I had only just received my Winter Fuel Payment. Yesterday I received the following letter (click on it to obtain a larger image). It tells me that I will receive my payment between 15/09/08 to 21/09/08. In case you are thinking that maybe the letter got lost in the post, no! It is dated 7/01/09!




So they are telling me I WILL receive my payment 4 months ago.



Is there any hope for the world when a letters like this are sent out?
