How different is that from a Tory Govt reducing and controlling the small amount that is given to Councils and stipulating how that little extra can be used only for social care whilst knowing that there is a growing social care and NHS problem - not just an increase in use but crumbling infrastructure while doing nothing about fixing it - AND all of this with a growing elderly population? The Govt has given the Councils extra money to distribute, the utilities have extra money to distribute.  Those needing help who are in trouble with bills are also always told to contact their utility companies to speak/communicate with them as they also can help with advice - rather than not use their heating at all because of worrying about high bills.  Fuel companies have in the past been known to give out electric blankets, slow cookers - even airfryers - to help their customers keep warm and use less energy. It is important that those who need help get it rather than those who do not.  There are thousands who do not claim when they are eligible.  When you are eligible for one benefit you can automatically become eligible for others.  There is a list of medical problems which can entitle you to help.  The list has changed. Age UK is also helpful - why not make a donation to Age UK or Citizens Advice etc who are working to sort out a lot of these longstanding - yes longstanding - problems?
