Across the UK, the cost-of-living crisis is continuing to bite, but some government support is on the way for a few households.
Up to £1,350 of support will be available to some households across 2023-2024, reports Birmingham Live. This was promised in the Chancellor's Autumn statement. At the time, Jeremy Hunt said: "I know these are tough times for families across the UK who are struggling to meet rising food and energy costs, driven by the aftershocks of Covid and Putin’s war in Ukraine.
"That’s why we’re putting a further £900 into the pockets of over eight million low-income households next year. These payments are on top of above-inflation increases to working-age benefits and the Energy Price Guarantee, which is insulating millions from even higher global gas prices."
