The most vulnerable households in Scotland will receive £1,000 of extra government support to tackle rising energy bills and the cost of living criss, Rishi Sunak has claimed.
The Tory chancellor said a new one-off £650 cost of living payment to low income households and a more widely targeted £400 discount grant on energy bills will build a cushion of support for the least well off.
Pensioners too will benefit from an extra winter fuel payment of £300 while disabled benefit claimants will will receive one off payment of £150.
