Map shows households across UK that will get £900 cost of living payment

The cost of living crisis is biting many people hard this winter, as soaring energy bills kick in amid many other price rises. Every household in the UK has benefited from £400 of government support this winter.

However, there are just two more payments to come on that support - in February and March - meaning people will be wondering what other support might be coming. The Government has said that additional help up to the value of £1,350 will be coming for some people in 2023 and into 2024.

In his Autumn Statement, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said there would be a further £900 for more than eight million eligible low-income households in 2023. That comes, he said, on top of increases to working-age benefits alongisde the Energy Price Guarantee, which has so far kept the average bill capped at £2,500.
