Soon millions of people across the UK will receive the first payment of the new year in a bid to help them with soaring bills.
The payments are the latest boost for households after support was previously announced in the autumn statement. Eight million people received £650 in Cost of Living payments throughout 2022, reports MEN. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt said: "I know these are tough times for families across the UK who are struggling to meet rising food and energy costs, driven by the aftershocks of Covid and Putin’s war in Ukraine. That’s why we’re putting a further £900 into the pockets of over 8 million low-income households next year.
