Money saving expert Martin Lewis has said most are running short of options to combat soaring energy bills. During his 8pm ITV show on Tuesday evening Lewis outlined the help available to those receiving benefits and tax credits, but said for those not receiving that there is only one response to the energy crisis.
If you are on benefits or are in receipt of tax credits or a pension, you can see the help on offer to you this winter and next year here. Responding to that, co presenter Angellica Bell asked: “For those who don’t get cost of living payments, what can they do?”
“It’s very difficult,” Lewis told her. “There are very few tools left. The only one that is left is improving the insulation in your home, improving energy efficiency in your home, and changing your behaviour to reduce energy bills. That is all that is left and there are lots of different ways to do that. But that is the only tool left in the arsenal. For those in the middle, you’re not getting cost of living payments, I’m afraid it’s all about lowering your usage.”
