Hi maddy22,
Check to see if you are eligible for the Warm Home Discount Scheme. This is a £140 rebate on your gas or electric bill for people in receipt of certain means-tested benefits – see www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme or contact your individual energy company for more information.
Best wishes

Hi @marcushodgkiss93 - your CPAP machine just uses air, not oxygen. The rebate that is possible for those using oxygen is here: http://www.bochomeoxygen.co.uk/en/patients/ourhomeoxygenequipment/concentrators/electricityrebates/electricity_rebates.html but is for those using oxygen cylinders, not a CPAP machine, sorry.
