The MND Association said some people cut back on their use of assistive equipment in the past 12 months in response to rising energy costs.
More targeted help is needed for people living with MND who require a lot of electricity to power special medical devices, a charity has said
The charity said some people have been cutting back on food and turning down their heating to cope with rising costs, and it has called for better targeted support to help those in need. The MND Association, launching its Through The Roof campaign, has called on the Government to implement targeted support with energy costs for people with MND, and to consult on long-term measures to support vulnerable households with energy costs, such as an energy social tariff.
“We need Government to do more to help vulnerable people and deliver on their overdue promise for a consultation.”
