Thanks so much, Alison. That clarifies the situation for me and it's down to the Post Office - and they didn't even knock my door in the first place! <Smiles>

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: http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/PublicWebsite/public_afbgl.hcsp#P10_949 Alison Long Products & Publications Royal National Institute of Blind People Bakewell Road Orton Southgate Peterborough PE2 6XU England Tel: +44 1733 375178 Fax: +44 1733 375383 -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 12 September 2008 13:58 To: Access UK Mailing List 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.
