    Hello @MarkIngleton

    Thanks for making this post, it certainly is tough times for so many people financially. The support package announced a couple of days ago will help, but probably not enough for certain households. 

    Are you sure that you are receiving all the financial support you are entitled to? I would suggest filling out a benefits calculator to see what you could potentially claim. Scope also have a service that can advise you about your energy bills and help you to save money, you can find their contact details here.
