The cost of living payments coming in 2023 that are worth up to £1,350

The UK Government has announced a new series of cost of living payments to help millions of households manage their financial struggles in 2023.

The new support package, worth £26 billion, is in addition to a benefits uprating of £11 billion, reports the Daily Record. This news means that Scottish households will be supported by these additional payments, as long as they qualify.

The payments are £900 for people on low-income benefits, £300 for pensioner households and £150 for those on disability benefits. So, if you qualify for all three, you would receive a total of £1,350.
