A bereaved retiree has hit out after being denied access to £250 worth of energy credit for months - because it was in his late wife’s name.

Michael Wright, 64, lost Sally Wright, 60, in November last year.

It was left to him to get the family affairs in order - including sorting out the energy bills.
