Here is the link to our factsheet on the Articles for the Blind scheme.  Your 
gas bill should have been delivered under the scheme, as a print copy is 
allowed, regardless of font size, as long as it is a "faithful copy" and 
accompanies the transcribed version:

Subject: [access-uk] ARTICLES FOR THE BLIND RULES

Hi all,

A few days ago I had a card from the good old Post Office informing me that 
there was an item to deliver which would cost £1.42.  I had been in all day 
and they hadn't even knocked the door ... so that wasn't a good start!  I 
decided, reluctantly, to take the option of putting on stamps to the value 
required and posting it back so that the item could be delivered.

This morning I got it!  It was none other than a Braille gas bill, together 
with its print equivalent, which I understand was in normal sized print.

Of course, I was immediately a bit mad to have paid £1.42 for a gast bill 
which had Articles for the Blind printed on it.

Please could anyone advise on the AFB rules for posting the printed 
equivalent along with the Braille?  (As our gas bill has just risen to more 
than double, I'm in no mind to be paying out such amounts to receive bills 
from them right now!)  I'd be interested in any comments about how to follow 
this up.

Thanks.
