E-On Next Secure Fixed 12m v14 Wait Or Go Now
I recicved and email telling me current tariff is running out next month I'm currently on Next Loyalty Fixed v4 for both Gas/Elec I was paying £220 a month but they dropped it to £180 or so I thought turns out I was still paying £216 but they was taken £180 from my bank and the rest from my credit and I was stupid and didnt check once.
New tarrifs are mainly around the £170-182 mark but elec daily charge is up by 20p now I feel no matter what I choose they'll ask to rise it within 1 month or 2 because my 6 year old son is disabled and needs a ventilator 24/7. He also has loads of other equipment thats always on charge to help with his day to day needs because of this I think they will put my bills up well above what I was paying before they dropped it that was £220.
Because clearly they will see my Elec usage and up it to build up during winter months like they always do, they gave me the winter pay which went straight to E-On and added to my credit I may get it this month. It makes me angry that familes like mine are slightly punished to keep my child alive because of his equipment I don't expect to have half price discount or something massive but extra help for familes and people who have to use Ventilators etc shouldn't be punished even more to stay alive

As challenging as it must be to have a disabled son to look after one of the priorities for any money you receive for for his condition will be the life saving equipment and therefore the energy bills.
I don't think it's for the energy companies to start deciding on a percentage reduction for x,y,z it's down to the benefits you receive when in these horrible situations.
I am not going to turn this political but keep an eye out for who may be promising more for you in your situation when you vote.
