I assume you are getting the correct financial support - disability living allowance and so on.

Have a read of this and see if there is anything else you are entitled to, or other help available:

I have not heard of the HA paying towards utility bills. Try asking CAB if they know of any such scheme.

hi there,
first i would say do not worry!! the electric company can ask you to pay �2.70 per week off this bill. i know it will take time to pay off, but there arent many other options.
also i do remember reading on an autism forum of companies giving reductions, i do know that powergen do not offer this, i think it may have been british gas, but not definate.
