Millions of households have already received a £301 Cost of Living support payment from the government and next month, more payments will arrive from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) into bank accounts.
Earlier this month, the DWP and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) made some 8.3 million Cost of Living payments for 2023/24. These payments are made to people receiving eligible means tested benefits in a bid to tackle the crisis, with a second £300 payment scheduled in autumn and £299 due in spring 2024.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt confirmed £94billion worth of support packages during his Spring Budget which are available for struggling families while the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) is also being extended. Here is the support available for UK households this June, the Independent reports.
