@CamAPS_FX Please can you start working with Abbott and Dexcom to ensure CamAPS can work with the latest OS for iPhone and android. It’s so frustrating you don’t work together.

@JillMansell Also you can turn off automatic time change on iPhone - in settings under date and font so you can turn it off, and if you set it for 2.30am say it will then be 1.30am

@MartinSLewis @MoneySavingExp can you help, travelling to Spain May 2026, so my passport issue date will be within 10 years, but what about the ‘3 month’ part, will this be ok to enter as export not until April 2027 or will they use 6 July as my expiry?

@JamesMelville A friend who is almost 80 been with Sheila’s wheel car insurance for a while, this year he rang to them to make a payment over the phone, they told him he can’t pay over the phone, they have to send him an email to pay via a link. He doesn’t have email or a device to go online!

News. The Chancellor's just announced Winter Fuel Payments will no longer be universal to all pensioners, now only pensioners on benefits will get it - in my view that's too narrow a group. Here's my formal statement to @RachelReevesMP ...
--------------
The targeting of Winter Fuel Payments is too narrow with the winter we have coming. Pensioners were already due to get less as this will be the first time since winter 2022 they haven’t got the up to £300 extra winter fuel cost of living top-up.

The Energy Price Cap is likely to rise 10% this October and stay high across the winter, leaving most energy bills nearly double those pre-crisis, at levels unaffordable for millions.

Many pensioners eke out the £100 to £300 Winter Fuel Payments to allow them to keep some heating on through the cold months. While there's an argument for ending its universality due to tight national finances, it's being squeezed to too narrow a group – just those on benefits and Pension Credit.

Yet again, those just above the thresholds will be hardest hit. This is often justified as there's a 'lack of household income data' to allow other targeting. However, there's a usable precedent from the emergency energy crisis measures announced in April 2022, which I'd urge the Government to look at.

Then, a payment was made to homes in council tax bands A to D – as an imperfect but workable proxy for lower household incomes. That'd allow an additional group of lower to middle-income pensioners to keep the payments and mitigate bill shocks. Councils' discretionary funds could also be funded as in April 2022, for the limited numbers who still need help but don't qualify.

Plus, with this announcement, the Government has a huge moral imperative to ensure the 800,000 people eligible for Pension Credit who don't get it, are informed, educated and helped through the process. It is planning an awareness-raising campaign, but it needs to ensure that reaches every corner – and if possible proactively and personally contact people.

Pension Credit is a crucial gateway benefit, giving access to a host of other entitlements, and now with the link to the Winter Fuel Payment, it makes it even more important to ensure fewer miss out."

@snorbie123 Yes! I thought the same!
