April 2023 will see a range of financial changes come into force following announcements made by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. Millions of households across the country will be eligible for a wide variety of extra financial support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), while benefits and pension payments will see an uplift of 10.1%, details of which were announced in the Autumn Statement.

As part of a £94 billion support package in place to protect struggling families through the cost of living crisis, some Brits could see a financial boost of up to £3,300 worth of support, according to a Manchester Evening News report, mainly uplifted by the £2,500 energy price guarantee.

The details of who is in line for a payment and when to expect to cast to hit your bank account, is explained below.
