Campaign reply - Please ensure your constituents get the information they need to tackle the energy price crisis

Thank you for contacting my office. I very much appreciate you getting in touch about providing information people need as we tackle the energy price crisis.

 

This issue is vital and that is why I was pleased to support a recent campaign to boost take up of pension credit in Truro and Falmouth, as can be seen below:

I recognise the challenges some pensioners in Truro and Falmouth will be facing with the cost of living, which is why it is right the Government is promoting Pension Credit as a priority.

 

While it is positive that 2348 pensioners in Truro and Falmouth already claim Pension Credit, we must make sure everybody in our area is are aware of what they are entitled to.

 

I look forward to promoting the new campaign so that all eligible pensioners and those who care and support older people can access the help they deserve.

More broadly, I know that the Government is working to reduce bills and tackle fuel poverty, for example through the introduction of home energy efficiency measures. The Government’s Energy Company Obligation and the expanded Warm Home Discount schemes will also provide at least £4.7 billion of extra support to low-income and vulnerable households between 2022 and 2026.

 

Once again, thank you for taking the time to write. If you require any further assistance, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
