it's badly written but i read it as you need to be on one of the listed benefits and have 3 kids, or have a qualifying condition from bristol water doc...hmmm but having re-read it i'm now not so sure.
i've not had a chance to contact them to ask yet but will do so next week to confirm.
but in anycase I am in receipt of the disability element of Child Tax Credit and have 3 kids for whom we get Child Benefit, and have qualifying condition, so pretty sure that i qualify
This is the blurb from Bristol water
To be eligible for this charge the conditions are that:
a) The customer, or any other person who lives at the property, is in receipt of one or
more of the following benefits:
Income Support
Income-related JobSeekers Allowance
Income-related Employment Support
Housing Benefit
Council Tax Benefit
Working Tax Credit
Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit (except families in receipt of the family element only)
b) And that either the same person receives child benefit for three or more
dependent children under the age of 19 who live in the household, or that any person
residing in the property is receiving treatment for one or more of the following medical
conditions and if the condition causes them to use a significant volume of water.
Desquamation (flaky skin loss)
Weeping skin disease (eczema, psoriasis, varicose ulceration)
Incontinence
Abdominal stomas or
Renal failure requiring home dialysis
Crohns disease
Ulcerative colitis
The Company will also consider requests for assistance from customers in receipt of
the specified benefits who have other medical conditions, which involve significant
use of water.
The customer or other qualifying person must occupy the whole or part of the
property as their only or principal home. Where the customer occupies only part of
the property, this must still be the principal purpose of the property.
