Millions are continuing to struggle making ends meet as the cost of living crisis ploughs on, with expenses remaining high for every day essentials like energy, fuel, food and household bills. But in a bid to ensure the most vulnerable and people on low-income are still able to get by, the government has a range of financial support on offer.
As it stands, energy bills are still at an all-time high of 10.1 per cent - two per cent higher than the Bank of England's target. Interest rates are also set to rise again next week, with experts warning of a leap from 3.4 per cent to four.
Further down the line, Ofgem's energy price cap is due a hike, going from it's current figure of £2,500 to £3,000 in April - meaning extra expenses for homeowners across the country. But despite the grim outlook, there are ways people struggling can get a helping hand. As reported by the Mirror, below is a look at support Brits could get in February.
