'This delay in payments will prevent many older people from heating their homes during this colder spell and living in a cold environment can directly impact health'
Northern Ireland’s Commissioner for Older People has warned that delays in getting Government energy payments to people here is putting “more lives at risk”.
“With the greatest respect for those who say it’s the British Government’s fault, we did try to work with ministers at the time, because we don’t have, as the UK Government, the appropriate relationships to get the money out. The Commissioner said: “It is deeply concerning that there is still no clarity as to when energy payments will be made in Northern Ireland. This is devastating to many older people who are already struggling this winter.
