However, what that means is that the government is only subsidising the bill by about £250 per annum, and, in 3 months when the cap is re-evaluated again, the cap will likely be lowered again due to falling wholesale prices. So, we might only be paying that extra £100 per month for something like 3 months. I'm of course, still ok, because i have my fixed price deals and they reckon the fixed price deals will be available again by the middle of the year

I'm not on benefits but I understand Universal Credit pays just £74.00 per week to a single man ow woman, with no children. How is he or she expected to pay the extra money? In fact, I don't know how anyone pays any of their bills on just £74.00 per week. I'd expect the food bill alone to be over £50.00.
