    I am on Octopus Go and it will go up 7.7p per Kw/h.  I haven’t even noticed charging on my electric bill.  I am on benefits and my income has changed by pence every year since 2012.  I have tightened my belt every year, rarely put the heating on.  I just Chuck another dog on the bed when it’s cold.  I got an email for Octopus last week saying if I was struggling,  get in touch, so I did, was told because I always paid my bills and was in credit they could not help.  I replied suggesting I should put my heating on and not pay and maybe then they would contribute.  I got a £50 credit.  When I penned a heartfelt thank you saying I didn’t expect anything and the young man had made my day, and to tell his Mum he had made an old man happy, he then sent a £50 Shopping voucher telling me to treat myself.  Made my week.
