Warning as thousands of tenants could miss out on £400 cost of living payment

A payment will be issued to households in the UK later this year to help with soaring energy costs amid the cost of living crisis. A rebate worth £400 will be applied to gas and electricity bills for around 28 million homes across the country from October.

The funding was announced earlier this year by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who has just recently resigned from his role in the Cabinet, as part of a new £15 billion package to aid the cost of living.
