Download The costs of being disabled
85% of families with disabled children use more energy, from electric hoists to extra heating and powered wheelchairs. Going without these can mean a significant decline in the standard of living and health for disabled people and their families. With energy costs soaring, how are disabled people coping? What support is available? We have tips on how can you save money on energy, food and other necessities as prices soar.
Adam Shaw is joined by Emma Tracey from the Access All podcast as they discuss the cost of living for disabled people.
