Last month, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that every domestic electricity customer in the UK will receive a £400 discount off their energy bill from October and that millions of low-income, elderly and vulnerable households are to benefit from one-off Cost of Living Payments, ranging from £150 to £650 over the coming months.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently shared new payment details for the 2022/23 Winter Fuel Payments which will include a £300 ‘Pensioner Cost of Living Payment’ for eligible households.
The means Winter Fuel Payments will be increased to £500 for a household with someone of State Pension age and under 80 and £600 for a household with someone aged 80 or over.
