To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of rises in energy costs on disabled people who use electronic aids and adaptations at home during Winter 2024-25.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of rises in energy costs on disabled people who use electronic aids and adaptations at home during Winter 2024-25.
We understand that energy bills are a concern for many people. We believe the only way to protect bill payers permanently, including disabled people, is to accelerate the green transition towards homegrown, clean energy.
This Government is committed to championing the rights of disabled people and working with them so that their views and voices are at the heart of everything we do.
We know disabled people face extra costs every day and this has been exacerbated by the increased cost of living. Ministers and officials have met with disabled stakeholders to discuss the impact of high energy costs for disabled people, including those who use electronic aids and adaptations in the home.
We also expect energy suppliers to do everything they can to support customers who are struggling with their bills, especially vulnerable households such as those with individuals who are disabled. We encourage any vulnerable consumer who needs extra support to sign up to the Priority Services Register.
