Priority Services Register
Energy companies have registers of customers who would be most at risk if their energy was cut off. You can join the Priority Services Register for extra support to keep you warm and safe if there's ever a problem with your gas or electric supply.
If you are over 66, ill or disabled, or have children living at home, ask your energy company if you can be added to their Priority Services Register.
