Fuel bills - are you struggling to pay yours?
Fuel poverty is related to household’s income, energy requirements and fuel prices. Fuel poverty is when you/your family:
- are living in a property with a fuel poverty energy efficiency rating of band D or below
and
- when you/your family spend the required amount to heat your home, you are left with a residual income below the official poverty line.
