SHOCKING- husband with raynauds disease which is severely affected and brought on by cold – living on benefits as a result – with 3 kids.
Home heating oil PLUS brickettes PLUS gas for a gas heater to help him through the night – more cold weather, so what are people expected to do?
WE NEED an extension of the fuel allowance NOW.
