🔥Fuel Poverty Awareness Day 2025 - Spotlight On Scope's Disability Eenrgy Support Service🔥

Community_Scope

Since 2020, the fuel poverty gap has almost doubled and it is over £400 In England.

For disabled households, the impact is even greater. Many people need to keep their homes at a steady temperature, rely on essential medical or mobility equipment or do extra washing which increases energy use.

But only 36% of fuel poor disabled households receive disability benefits.

This level of support simply isn’t enough so that’s why we’re calling on the Government to..

• Expand the Warm Home Discount to include people on disability benefits
• Increase the payment to £400

Winter can be incredibly tough without the right support. If you’re disabled and finding it hard to manage your energy bills, Scope's Disability Energy Support Service.

Our specialist advisors offer free, practical guidance to disabled people and their families. This service is made possible thanks to our partners; SGN, Cadent Gas Limited, Wales & West Utilities, Northern Gas Networks and British Gas Energy Trust.
