Help for Households - Get government cost of living support

From today eight million families will receive their third Cost of Living Payment, bringing the total payments to £900 of support per household and representing a £2 billion support package, as we continue to stick to the plan to lower inflation and cut taxes to ensure people can keep more of their money.

• By sticking to the plan, we have more than halved inflation, allowing us to cut taxes for 27 million working people but as we drive inflation down further, we must continue to support the most vulnerable. That is why, from today eight million low-income households will receive their third Cost of Living Payment, totalling £900, to support with household costs such as energy bills. 

• This will ensure that as we stick to the plan to lower inflation, grow the economy, and reduce debt, families who need extra targeted support will receive it and people’s money will go further.
