that is a record increase. and the bad news is it probably won t end there. ofgem is expected to raise there. ofgem is expected to raise the price cap again early next year. we don t know what that will mean for bills but the charity national energy action, it has forecast a £550 increase in april to the dual fuel bill. it means bills would have doubled in more than 18 months. catherine from west yorkshire says she has to decide whether she can afford to turn her heating on, or find other ways to stay warm. i very rarely put the heating on, to be honest. i ve got blankets. i use my hairdryer. basically i wrapped myself in a blanket i d use my hairdryer to warm me up. i m very, very funny about putting the heating on because even when it s on, my anxiety levels are so high and i m constantly like timing it. when can i turn it off? how quickly will it last? everything like that. it s a nightmare.
