Nearly 144,000 households across Nottinghamshire are in line to receive the government’s one-off £650 cost of living payment. The money is intended to help hard-up households cope with rising energy bills and prices this winter.
Nationwide, more than eight million households are expected to get the money. More than 7.2 million received the first instalment of £326 in July, with the second payment of £324 to follow by the end of October.
The payment comes as the worsening cost of living crisis puts millions of households under severe financial strain. There are increasingly dire warnings about the hardships coming over the next few months, amid calls for tougher government action.
