swalec gas arrears

I am on a quantum meter to pay off my arrears with Swalec Gas. I cannot afford to keep topping up the meter. Is there any way I could have money deducted from my JSA benefit & switch back to quarterly bills while this is being done ?

    How much are you paying back each week as this is the key thing?
    As you already have a PPM they are highly unlikely to revert you to a credit meter and let you bill monthyl. They MAY collect your arrears from your JSA but not sure about ongoing consumption because this is variable.
