Check if you can save money on your energy bills.

There are schemes which can help you save money on your energy bills. The energy regulator Ofgem provides information about support you can get if you have a low income or you are over 67 years old. Visit the Ofgem site to see if you can get help from government schemes like the Warm Home Discount, the Cold Weather Payment and the Winter Fuel Payment, or from grants and charities.

The AskBill website has a lot of advice and information about how to manage your energy bills, how to talk to energy companies if you fall behind on your bills, with links to each of the big energy companies support for people on benefits and for people who are disabled or over the pension age.
