As the weather turns and thoughts of upcoming fuel bills and increased household bills play on householder's minds, government relief schemes becomes ever more important. As do the dates that certain payments will arrive in bank accounts.
There are various payments that will soon be due to struggling Nottingham and Nottinghamshire households, including the second instalment of the government £650 cost of living payment. Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng said: "We know that people have been worried about their bills ahead of this winter, which is why we’ve taken decisive action to hold down energy bills, saving the average household around £1,000 a year, and provided £1,200 of targeted support to the most vulnerable.
"Without our intervention, analysts were predicting that the average annual energy bill could have reached £6,500 next year. We were never going to let this happen."
