UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak recently unveiled a £15 billion package of financial aid intended to help millions of families throughout the country through the worsening cost of living crisis.
It follows a previous £22 billion support package announced in February, and together will mean that vulnerable households across Scotland and the UK will receive £1,200 in support in 2022 — as well as a £400 discount on their energy bills this autumn.
Approximately six million people in the UK who claim disability benefits will also receive a one-off £150 sum by the end of September.
