New £1,100 cost of living package tipped to be announced this week by Jeremy Hunt

This year's cost of living package for the poor, disabled and pensioners may be repeated next year, but the £400 all-household energy bills rebate is not on the cards, according to reports.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is said to be drawing up plans to repeat the £650, £150 and £300 targeted payments in 2023, and a full package of energy bills support will be announced by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in Thursday's Autumn Statement.

The report, in The Times newspaper, was not denied by Government sources, leading to speculation that politicians would hand another £650 to 8.2million households on means-tested benefits including Universal Credit, Tax Credits and Pension Credit, according to The Mirror.
