Millions claim £324 cost of living payment in last week – full list of who is eligible | Personal Finance | Finance

Mel Stride, the Government’s Work and Pensions Secretary, outlined why the Government has issued this cost of living support.

He explained: “This Government promised to protect those on the lowest incomes, and it is great to be able to confirm today that we have delivered on this commitment with our latest cost of living payment reaching over seven million households in the last week alone.

“This payment is just part of a wider support package the Government has provided, with millions of families benefiting from a Council Tax rebate and pensioners across the country receiving winter fuel support as the weather gets colder and disabled people getting help with additional costs they face.

“We will continue to support the most vulnerable as we deal with the impact of Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine and the aftermath of the pandemic.”
