However, the Government’s cost of living support package currently delivers £15 billion worth of support measures to assist the most vulnerable with rising energy bills, including users of home medical equipment. In addition, certain specialised National Health Services, such as home Haemodialysis, do include the provision of financial support to offset energy costs sustained from running medical equipment at home. Home Oxygen Suppliers also reimburse cost of electricity required to run oxygen concentrator devices in homes, and this cost is passed onto integrated care boards as part of contractual arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 30/01/2023 10:13:46 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

However, if the payment exceeds the amount due under AMAPs, and this results in a profit for the individual, they will be liable to pay Income Tax and National Insurance contributions on the difference.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps this policy under review<strong>.</strong></p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/05/2022 12:57:43 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
