That compares to 40 per cent of non-disabled adults. Meanwhile, 36 per cent of disabled people are finding it hard to pay their rent or mortgage payments, compared with 27 per cent of non-disabled people. And there were ethnic disparities too For example, almost 70 per cent of black adults are struggling to pay their energy bills compared to just 44 per cent of white people surveyed. These figures came out on the same day we learned that some of the cheapest food in supermarkets has risen by nearly two thirds in the last year. ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news -   / 5_news   Message us on Facebook to share your opinion -   / c5news   See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram -   / c5news   ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
