A new petition calling on the UK Government to provide additional financial support for people with a disability or serious medical condition to help them mitigate soaring energy costs has passed a milestone which triggers an official response.
Created by Rachel Curtis and posted on the official petition-parliament website, the ‘Provide an energy grant to people with a disability or serious medical condition’ petition, explains that many people cannot avoid using electricity as they need to use a ventilator, stair lift or bath seat, or charge their mobility equipment.
The petition has now received more than 10,320 signatures of support - 300 over the official 10,000 threshold which triggers an official response from the UK Government.
