Hi,  my parents were put on the Priority Service Register after a call from SES Water in May and have now been asked to prove their income by the end of June!  Is there a limit to what you should have coming in to use this service?  They want them to send in bank details!
Thanks

  • If you look at the SESWater website, I think that they are referring to this scheme:

    Water Support Scheme

    What is it?
    A 50 per cent bill reduction that is funded through adding £6 to other customers’ annual bills.

    Who is eligible?
    You could be eligible for this scheme if your yearly gross household income is:

    • Less than £17,005 before any deductions, if you do not live in a London borough; or
    • Less than £21,749 before any deductions, if you do live in a London borough

      Disablement benefits are not included as income. 
    I very much doubt that being on the PSR is in anyway linked to the Water Support Scheme. Why not give them a call?
