Millions of households across the UK are continuing to face increased financial pressure amid a worsening cost of living crisis.
Despite this, additional support is available via government payments, energy rebates, cold weather payments, warm home discounts, and a household support fund. As we look towards the following year, it's important to keep track of all the financial changes that will be coming into place.
For example, the epartment for Work and Pensions (DWP) issued an update for millions people waiting to receive £900 in cost of living payments next year, with eight million people on means-tested benefits expected to get it. Meanwhile, an estimated 19.2 million families and 39.8 million families in receipt of DWP and HMRC benefits will see an increase to their payments.
