A money expert has said people are "scared to open their post" during the cost of living crisis.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Saleem Shafi, executive at Money Buddies chatted to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls about how people on pre payment meters are missing out on cost of living help. An estimated £25 million went unclaimed by those on pre-payment meters last month after they failed to claim the government help.
The government have issued energy bill help to all households with all homes receiving £400 off their energy bills from October, with the discount made in six instalments to help families throughout the winter period. Households will see a discount of £66 applied to their energy bills in October and November, rising to £67 each month from December through to March 2023.
