A Northumberland mum will be glued to the her laptop on Monday, as she bids to win extra money for disabled people to help pay their energy bills in the cost of living crisis.
Rachel Curtis, who lives in Ellington with her husband Marc and five-year-old daughter Betsy, raised her petition - entitled 'Provide an energy grant to people with a disability or serious medical condition' - earlier this year, and it will be debated by MPs alongside another by disabled student Abigail Broomfield, of London, entitled ‘Make people on disability benefits eligible for the £650 one off payment'.
She is hoping her endeavours will result in an extra £650 cost of living payment for the 5.5m people claiming PIP and Employment Support Allowance (ESA) during the ongoing crisis.
