Thousands of Londoners will receive help with energy bills over the coming weeks and months.
Cost-of-living payments worth hundreds of pounds will arrive in millions of people's accounts from Wednesday.
The latest payments are in addition to the £400 being distributed to every household, and the Energy Price Guarantee, which caps the price that suppliers can charge. For the vast majority of pensioners, the extra support with winter energy bills will be automatically paid into their accounts within the next two months. However people who do not receive benefits or the state pension will need to make a claim.
Another seven million people on low incomes who receive certain benefits were given cost-of-living support in recent weeks.A range of cost-of-living payments are being provided to eligible households by the government during the second half of the year, on top of the £400 discount for all billpayers.Those on low-incomes and receiving various benefits are being paid £650 in two instalments. The second payment went out to the vast majority of them in recent weeks.
