The Government has announced a series of measures to support people with the cost of living crisis in 2023. It follows on from a number of payments and discounts offered in 2022, such as the £650 cost of living payment and the £400 energy support scheme.
Many of next year's plans were set out in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement last month. In the same address, he also pledged to increase benefits and the State Pension in line with inflation - a huge relief to many struggling with soaring prices.
Support measures planned include payments targeted at supporting groups such as those on low incomes, pensioners, and people with disabilities. There are also some ongoing policies designed at helping people with energy bills throughout the winter and these will continue into 2023.
