A Bristol dad has spoken of the "constant worry" of money during the cost of living crisis and says although welcome, a £150 payment from the Government is "tiny" in context of the rising bills.
Nick Flaherty cares for his 13-year-old daughter Rhia, who has a life-limiting metabolic condition called PDH and is registered deaf and blind. The family receives the same amount of support as they did when she was just three and were in debt before the recent price surges.
Mr Flaherty, from Bristol, said: “The £150 from Government is great but it’s tiny compared to the thousands of pounds in energy costs we’re facing on top of the debt we’re already in. I constantly worry but the worry pales into insignificance when the alternative is your child dying. You just don’t have a choice.”
