'There's really nothing shockable anymore, it's just disgusting now'
A Northern Ireland mum has slammed the delay in delivering the £400 energy bill support payment to households here this winter, branding it "disgusting".
The scheme was due to be rolled out from November, according to former Prime Minister Liz Truss but no further details on the timeframe for receiving this money off bills have been revealed. He said he was hopeful the scheme would be delivered before Christmas, but could not guarantee anything, adding that it may be January before customers' accounts were credited.
"We were promised this money back in July and we're sitting now in November not knowing when we'll get it. I really think it will be February or the spring time at this rate. "These are winter payments to keep our homes warm yet we're being told that we may not receive them until the new year. I've budgeted for this money to come in to cover my electric and put extra money towards oil.
