Scottish power have today said they will re - bill everything from April last year on single rate instead of standard dual tarrif. I requested the change back then but they didn't do it. 

I'm still waiting to see what the final outcome is, I'm just hoping it doesnt turn out more somehow 

Hopefully that will save you something. I recently looked at a bill for someone who is on an E7 tariff with Eon (who also have gas central heating, so not sure why they're on E7), and it would've saved them roughly £150-200 if they'd been billed at single rate instead. They are high users though.

Also, not sure how practical it is, but for your Mum keeping warm, instead of using a fan heater, you could consider using an electric throw as like electric blankets, they're fairly economical to run?

Well the balance has gone down from -£836 to  -£377 so around about £500 knocked off! Which makes it all much easier to deal with now. I also know next month's bill won't be as high as December which is a relief.

I could get her an electric blanket but the live-in carer is also in that room a lot of the time and need to keep it warm for them too. I'll be getting curtains and longer radiator plus a rug so hopefully all that can make a difference
