I have recently received an email from UK Power Networks inviting me
to register for additional help in the event of a power cut.

Qualifications a

"Who can apply

. Customers who are dependent on medical equipment

. Customers who are chronically ill

. Customers with a disability

. Customers who are visually impaired or blind

. Customers who are hearing impaired or deaf

. Elderly customers

. A nursing or residential home

. Customers with young babies in household

. Any other case that you would like us to consider"

So that's 90% of the polulation then, hardly likely to receive 'additional
help' if everyone qualifies.
