Government energy help
My dad is 86 years old lives on a pension in rented accommodation, he has a gas account in his name but the electric is in the landlords name and he pays the landlord for the amount he's used. Is there anyway he can get help as the rest of us have with his fuel payments.

He could appeal to the landlord's better nature, but from that perspective that's unfortunately about all. He could also contact his local council though to see if they have any discretionary funds available - that could be worth a try.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
