Recipients of extra costs disability benefits, such as PIP, will receive a £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment in the summer. They may also be entitled to up to £900 of Cost of Living Payments if they are a member of a household receiving a means tested benefit.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 22/05/2023 11:09:40 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien previous answer version 75538 answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2023 answer text <p>Modelling for our Swap to Stop policy has to date been based on effective pilot schemes across the country. For example, in Salford a pilot successfully engaged with over 1,000 smokers, many of whom were from the most deprived communities. Of those smokers who remained engaged in the four-week scheme, 62% were recorded as having successfully quit, by means of carbon monoxide verification. This is a fourfold increase in the number of successful quitters compared to the equivalent period the year before, when the scheme had not been in operation.</p><p> </p><p>As announced on 11 April 2023, our vision for the new national Swap to Stop scheme is to offer a million smokers a free vaping kit alongside expert behavioural support. The impact of the scheme on our Smokefree 2030 ambition will be further modelled following the completion of the first wave of the programme in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 20/04/2023 16:21:01 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien previous answer version 68926 answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
