    Hello @lynbeck86 and a warm welcome to our community. 

    You're definitely not alone in struggling with prepayment meters or energy costs at the moment. Some foodbanks also offer vouchers to help with fuel and prepayment meters, it might be worth getting in touch with one near you to see if they're able to help.

    Our expert advisers on the Disability Energy Support team can also support with a wide range of topics related to your energy bills, including:
    • accessing benefits, grants, and trusts
    • contacting or complaining to your supplier
    • managing energy debt
    • changing your meter
    • energy efficiency
    • support registering with the Priority Services Register
    You can read more about the support they can offer on our website Scope Disability Energy Support.
