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 almost reached 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 is less than 250 signatures of support away from the 10,000 threshold which triggers an official response from the UK Government.
