Shoppers urged to claim up to £325 in supermarket cash as deadline approaches

Many households will be due £325 to spend on their weekly food shop, with letters expected to drop through letterboxes in the coming days.

The free financial help is delivered by the Household Support Fund (Scottish Welfare Fund in Scotland), reports the Scottish Sun. The fund, worth £412 million, has been extended by the Government until March 2023.

However, the help you will receive depends on who your local council is, as well as personal circumstances. People should be entitled to free money and vouchers to help pay for things like energy bills, or the weekly supermarket run.
