Hi
I am new to this & desperately need help with nmy energy bills as my debt is now over £2000. I applied to my supplier's energy fund but they have rejected my application & said that this would not benefit me as the debt would only rise again as I am not paying enough towards my usage. I am a 60 year old disabled lady who suffers from mental health issues & receive Universal Credit & PIP therefore I am only able to pay £150 a month towards my bills, however, my supplier is wanting £234.
This mounting debt is affecting my health & wellbeing & I really need some help & support with this. I anyone can give m3csome advice I would be really grateful.
Many thanks

    Hello @Clownshoes

    I see Poppy has shared the link to Scope's Disability Energy Support, I would encourage you to reach out to them, as they will be able to advise further. I was concerned as you mentioned it is taking a toll on your mental health, so I wanted to check in and see if you have support around you for that?
