Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) has warned that April was a ‘crunch’ moment in the cost of living crisis, after the charity reported a 62 per cent increase in requests from energy customers seeking help with rising bills.
New figures for April show the number of people seeking advice from their local Citizens Advice Bureau increased by 10 per cent compared to the same period last year.
Across Scotland's 59 bureaux, advisers saw a 62 per cent increase in the number of people seeking advice on energy bills and 71 per cent more who needed advice on dealing with fuel debts compared to 2021.
