Millions of people on low incomes as well as pensioners and the disabled are entitled to cash grants from the government to help with the cost of living crisis.
The Department of Work and Pensions (the DWP) has pledged to support those in need through the cost-of-living crisis with a support package worth more than £1,000. Households who need the extra support can check on the DWP website, where there is a tool to find out everything you’re entitled to.
Some of the help includes a £600 cost-of-living payment paid across a number of instalments at different points throughout the year. It will be paid in two instalments this year, with a third and final payment at the beginning of 2024.
