Why is it that people on benefits get all the help they want when its us the working that have to suffer struggling paying rising electricity/gas bills during exactly the same circumstances???!
Its about time that the government done something about this!

I agree with Murphy 1315 it would seem that if you are out of work you get all the help.
i,m a single parent working i get tax credits,i also have a daughter with special needs,who feels the cold more than others ,so when the weathers like this my gas bill rockets.
its time the government treated every one the same.

Its a crazy system for sure! Somebody on min wage who probably gets less monthly income than some people on benefits will get no help!

Go and moan in discussion time, read the rules

How would you keep your child warm if there wasn't such a thing as cold weather payments?
