answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2022 answer text <p>The government understands the pressures that many households are facing with the cost of living and is monitoring the situation closely. These are global challenges, but the government is providing support worth over £20 billion across this financial year and next to help families with the cost of living, much of which will help carers on low incomes. This includes cutting the Universal Credit taper rate and increasing work allowances to make sure work pays, freezing alcohol and fuel duties to keep costs down, and the £9.1 billion package announced in February 2022 to help households with rising energy bills. The government is providing £500m through the Household Support Fund to help those most in need with the cost of essentials such as food, clothing and utilities.</p><p> </p><p>Carers and their vital contribution to society are also recognised within the welfare system. Carers can receive additional support through Carer’s Allowance, the Carer Element in Universal Credit and through Pension Credit. The weekly rate of Carer’s Allowance will increase to £69.70 in April 2022. Around 360,000 carer households on Universal Credit can receive an additional £1,965 a year through the Carer Element, ensuring that extra support is focused on those carers who need it most. This amount will increase from April 2022 and will benefit carers across the country.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 22/03/2022 14:58:25 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2022 answer text <p>The government understands the pressures people, in particular vulnerable groups are facing with the cost of living as a result of high inflation. These are global challenges, but the government is providing support worth over £20 billion across this financial year and next that will help families with the cost of living. This includes £500m of funding available through the Household Support Fund to help those most in need with the cost of essentials such as food, clothing and utilities.</p><p> </p><p>Living with a long-term illness or disability can impact on the cost of living. This is why the government invests heavily in supporting disabled people both in and out of work through the welfare system. The government will spend over £58 billion in 2021-22 on benefits for disabled people and people with health conditions – this is around 2.6% of GDP. This includes Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which is a universal and non-means-tested benefit to help individuals with the extra costs of living with a disability, regardless of their income. Those who have a disability or health condition and receive PIP can also get additional support through premiums or additional amounts within Universal Credit (UC) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).</p><p> </p><p>The government is continuing to monitor cost of living pressures and carefully considers the equalities impact of policy on those with protected characteristics, in line with both its strong commitment to promoting fairness and its legal obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) in the Equality Act 2010.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 22/03/2022 11:33:30 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
