Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to help ensure that disabled people with high energy usage do not fall into fuel poverty.

Although energy prices have significantly decreased compared to last winter, the Government is continuing to support those most in need such as disabled individuals. Millions of vulnerable households are receiving up to £900 in further cost of living payments, with an extra £150 to those on eligible disability benefits. This is alongside established support that vulnerable households may be able to receive such as the Winter Fuel Payment, and the £150 Warm Homes Discount.

I recommend that disabled individuals visit if the ‘Help for Households’ webpage on GOV.UK to view what support they may be able to access - https://helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk/.
