Chronic Illness And Water Advice

Sweetz

I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and I have psoriasis. The last time I saw my consultant, he recommended me contacting Welsh Water to apply for a discount on my monthly bill. I did just that, but was told that because I am not claiming any benefits and I am not on a low income (I work full time), I am not entitled to any discount. I feel this is very unfair as I still use the same amount of water as someone with the same condition as me but who doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Thank you

Quit work, claim as many benefits as possible.

Sad but true!

But you should thank your lucky stars that you are well enough to work and that you have a job to enable you to pay.

I am a little confused as to why a discount for anyone would apply.
