Announcement on new cost of living payments for 2023

Just thought I ought to expand on just the link.

So, from April those who are on certain low-income benefits will get three cost of living payments or around £300, adding up to £900. There will be one after April 2023, one in the Autumn and one in the following spring.

Those on certain disability benefits will receive one payment of £150 in the summer.

Those entitled to winter fuel payment and are above state pension age will get a top up of £300 in the winter. This is the one I feel needs further clarification. Last year it was an additional £250 or £300 depending on whether you are over or under 80.

Thank you DaisyAnne.

Many thanks DaisyAnne

Thank you, that news has given me a little lift.x

Thank you for that info DaisyAnne. Reassuring to know that folk whose sole income is state pension, but don’t qualify for pension credit, will receive £300.
