Last week, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak announced a £15 billion support package to help households struggling amid the cost of living crisis.
Following the news that the energy price cap is set to rise by around £800 in October, Sunak unveiled a range of one-off payments available to those most vulnerable.
While almost every household in the UK will receive a £400 discount on their energy bills later this year, the other support payments are only available to people claiming certain benefits.
