Help with fuel costs this winter ?

I live on a war pension and I can't afford my heating fuel , which is coal, I only require £200 to buy a tonne of cheap coal for the winter, are there any grants or charities that help with heating costs ?

    If all is as you say, try the British legion, or SSAFA, they can act a gateway for you

  • £140 off the electric bill is a good thing to apply for so have a look into The Warm Home Discount (,WHD ) to see if you qualify. You need to have an income of less than £1600 a year and be on certain other benefits to qualify.
    All the main big 6 suppliers will accept the WHD but not most of the small suppliers
