Millions of pounds have been given to eligible households in the past year to combat soaring living costs. With inflation sky-high and many struggling to afford higher supermarket prices and energy bills the UK Government has rolled out several cost of living payments aimed at helping those hardest hit.
Payments were given last year to those on benefits, people with disabilities, and pensioners while all households are currently receiving a £400 discount off their energy bills spread over six months. But with costs still high in 2023 further financial support – including a £900 payment for those on benefits, £150 for those with disabilities and other payments – is coming soon with some landing as early as this spring.
Here are all the cost of living payments and benefits coming in March and April. To get all the latest money-saving news straight to your inbox sign up here.
