Over eight million Britons eligible for means-tested benefits will receive £900 from spring 2023 as part of the latest cost of living support announced by chancellor Jeremy Hunt during November’s Autumn Statement.
There will also be a separate £150 for over six million disabled people and £300 for another eight million pensioners on top of their Winter Fuel Payments to help them meet their energy bills, all of which adds up to a total of £1,350 in state support this year.
