Spoke to mum. Sounds as if he should be getting disability living allowance, and or incapacity benefit. Might help pay the bills!

I'll ask in a round about way, tried to get him to call the advice line-may have a go again this week.

Dont know if its the same as up here, but you can buy drums of hearting oil. Think its the same price as buying in bulk per litre. Dont know if he'd maybe manage to buy a smaller amount more often or not.

I don't know how we're going to afford to refill our oil tank this time either.
