The Chancellor announced these new cash boosts in his Autumn Statement.
The UK Government have recently announced that they will provide a new cost of living support package to struggling households in the UK.
More than eight million households across the UK will receive additional support to help with the current cost of living crisis, according to the Department for Work and Pensions . Eligible claimants who are also receiving means-tested benefits could be entitled to an extra £900 on top of their cost of living payment. It is understood that it will be paid in installments, similar to the previous cost of living payments, although more details will be released.
If you are eligible for the new cost of living payment, are on means-tested benefits, are a pensioner, and are on disability payments, you could be entitled to all four payments at the same time. These total to an extra £1,350 in one year.
