SDG&E offers help for customers with medical needs

San Diego Gas & Electric customers may be entitled to extra electricity and natural gas at the lowest residential rate if they or a full-time resident of the home has certain major medical conditions.

The medical baseline allowance is available for those who have paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, a compromised immune system, a life-threatening illness, or any other condition for which additional cooling, heating or life-support equipment is medically necessary to sustain life or prevent deterioration of health. A physician must certify the medical condition.

To receive an application for the medical baseline allowance, call SDG&E at (800) 411-SDGE or get one online at http://www.sdge.com.
