Grant to buy heating oil?

Hi,
we moved into our rented property (a barn conversion, private landlord) 3 months ago. The central heating is fuelled by oil and we are very low. We've shopped around for lots of quotes and the cheapest and minimum we will have to spend is about £200 all in one go. We can't pay in installments and we have to pay up front.
I'm disabled and we have a one year old. Are there any grants available to help with the cost of the oil?

As far as I know theres no help for heating other then what you are entitled to because of disability/age - ie cold weather payments
Oil is expensive, here we can buy stamps and can buy emergency drums which are I think 25 gallons. Some garages sell heating oil at the pump ( bring your own drum)
Have you asked around locally to see how others who can only buy in small amounts cope?
Oil is expensive. Seems no sooner have I bought a fill I'm saving for the next one, around £20 a week on average0
