Money saving expert Martin Lewis has pointed out that some key groups are missing out on the extra cash announced by chancellor Rishi Sunak today in his new support package.
In the House of Commons, Mr Sunak announced a wave of new measures as part of a support package to help households tackle the soaring cost of living crisis. Under the new measures, every UK household will receive a £400 energy grant off their energy bills, which will not have to be paid back, while around eight million households on the lowest income will also receive £650 as a one-off payment.
Furthermore, pensioners will receive an extra cost of living payment of £300 while those on disability benefits will receive an extra £150 payment. Unfortunately, these new measures don't cover everyone who may be struggling. According to Mr Lewis, carers and some disabled people are among those losing out.
