    Plus the £400 rebate on electricity bills spread out in 6 instalments from this month to March 2023.

    What type of ESA do you get?

    Welcome to the community @Loltranter1 :) How are you doing today? 

    Thank you for posting about this. Many people, especially disabled people, are struggling with the cost of living crisis at the moment. 
    I  also tried to get a disabled train card but they wouldn't accept my pip papers from last year 
    Are you still receiving PIP?

    As you've mentioned having cancer, I'm wondering whether you might also find it helpful to speak to Macmillan.
