UK Cost of Living: Expert Tips on How to Cut Household Bills and Secure Financial Aid
In a recent online video, content creator Amy, known as 'YourBipolarBestie,' offered practical advice on navigating the rising cost of living, drawing on her experience with the Citizens Advice Bureau. The video, which has garnered significant attention, outlines several avenues for individuals and families to reduce their household expenses and secure financial assistance. Amy detailed how contacting water companies can lead to reduced rates for those on a water meter, particularly after filling out a means-tested form. She also highlighted that internet providers are often mandated to offer low-income plans, typically around £14.99, regardless of existing contract status, especially for Universal Credit recipients. For housing support, Amy advised reaching out to local councils for discretionary housing funds. These funds can bridge the gap between Universal Credit housing elements and actual rent costs, ensuring full rent coverage. Additionally, she suggested contacting gas and electricity companies, as low-income individuals may qualify for reduced rates or heating bursaries, which can provide credit to their accounts before and after winter. Amy emphasized that these measures are designed to help those struggling to make ends meet, stating, 'There are things you can actually do.' She encouraged viewers to consult their local Citizens Advice Bureau or council for personalized guidance.
