Energy price rise unmanageable for many
Morgan Vine, Head of Policy and Influencing at Independent Age, released a comment about the increase of the energy standing charge and its effect on older people on low incomes. It is estimated that one in three households will face higher bills between October and March. Independent Age is calling for an energy bills social tariff that would include those on low income over 65. The story was picked up in Daily Record and North Edinburgh News.
