Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps her Department is taking to support disabled people who use medical equipment in their homes with their energy costs.

We recognise the cost-of-living challenges faced by vulnerable people. The Government is providing extensive financial support to households in a package worth over £108 billion, or £3,800 per household on average, over 2022-2025. This includes the uprating of working age benefits by 6.7% this year.

We are also continuing to support eligible low-income households through the Warm Home Discount, providing an annual £150 rebate off energy bills until 2025-26.
