With new Prime Minister Liz Truss about to take office, financial changes such as tax breaks and help with surging energy costs could be on the table. Liz Truss promised to deal the such topic "from day one".
However, as it stands at the moment, we do know that Brits can take advantage of the cost of living help set out by the previous administration. But, with so many different elements of the Cost of Living scheme being talked about and dates flying around, working out exactly what you can and cannot claim and when that money might arrive can be a headache. With rising bills, it's a topic that needs explaining especially if you're in line to get some financial help to tackle soaring costs.
So far, seven million households across the country have had the first instalment of the two means-tested cost of living payments being offered by the Government. The payment of £326 has come directly from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). A second payment for £324 will be made in the autumn to make up the total figure of £650.
