Qualifications a

"Who can apply

. Customers who are dependent on medical equipment

. Customers who are chronically ill

. Customers with a disability

. Customers who are visually impaired or blind

. Customers who are hearing impaired or deaf

. Elderly customers

. A nursing or residential home

. Customers with young babies in household

. Any other case that you would like us to consider"

So that's 90% of the polulation then, hardly likely to receive 'additional
help' if everyone qualifies.

Err...nope. "UK Power Networks own and maintain electricity cables and
lines across London, South East and East of England."

So as they only cover Anglia & the south-east of England, IMO "UK Power
Networks" is a /complete/ misnomer.
