One MP has sought assurances over who will be eligible
Details of support measures designed to help millions of households across the country battle spiralling inflation and soaring energy bills during 2023/24, were first announced in The Chancellor of Exchequers Autumn Statement. More than eight million households on means-tested benefits will now receive the support.
In a written response on December 2, which was reported by Daily Record, DWP Minister Mims Davies MP, confirmed that legislation for the 2023/24 cost of living payments will be brought forward “in due course”. Ms Davies explained: “We will be bringing forward legislation for the 23/24 Cost of Living Payments in due course.
Ms Davies continued: ‘We recognise many of the most vulnerable are those entitled to other elements in Universal Credit, such as housing or child costs. If a sanction is applied, claimants continue to receive these other elements and would remain eligible for cost of living payments.”
