A number of cost of living payments are still to come to help people who are struggling financially.
Millions of householders are finding it difficult to pay their bills at the moment, with increased costs and pressures on their budgets. According to a recent study by the Financial Conduct Authority, as many as 10 million people could be struggling with bills, a 3.1 million increase year-on-year.
Inflation is still in double digits at 10.1%, while fuel, energy, and supermarket goods remain high in price. To try and help those who are struggling the most, the Government has set up a number of state support options available for people on low incomes, as well as previous support for every household with the cold weather payments through winter.
