Reposted by Grace RemmingtonPaula Knight 🎨✒️♿ @paulaknight.bsky.social · 23/01/2025One example of the extra costs of being disabled is having to buy a small generator for my electric bed in case of power cuts during storms. Couldn't be provided by OT. Being on the priority services register only lets you know there's a storm coming and to be prepared. #disability #StormEowyn 1395

Reposted by Grace RemmingtonEllie Wagstaff @elliewagstaff.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Insightful report by @consumerscotland.bsky.social; very welcome to see additional, targeted energy affordability support for terminally ill people in its recommendations. 1 in 5 people die in fuel poverty at EOL in Scotland, @johnswinney.bsky.social & Scot Gov have an opportunity to change that. 171
Reposted by Grace RemmingtonSam Ghibaldan @samghib.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Terminally ill people can face high energy costs when they are least able to mange them. @consumerscotland.bsky.social’s new report recommends the Scottish Government targets extra support through the Special Rules for Terminal Illness, which allow for quicker access to benefits. 2910
Reposted by Grace RemmingtonSam Ghibaldan @samghib.bsky.social · 01/12/2024It is often difficult to target affordability support to those that really need it. But this report, led by @graceremmington.bsky.social, has identified a mechanism to do that. 141
Grace Remmington @graceremmington.bsky.social · 01/12/2024📢✨Absolutely delighted this report has been published. It’s felt like a very personal research project for me as a disabled person myself! The report looks at how best to design energy support for disabled people. Please do take a read and reshare! 141
