<p>No such assessment has been made of the impact of inflation on pensioners in (a)
Enfield North constituency, (b) the London Borough of Enfield and (c) London.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government understands the pressures people are facing with the cost of
living and is taking action to help. Overall, we are providing total support of over
£94bn over 2022/23 and 2023/24 to help households and individuals with the rising
cost of bills. This includes 8.7m pensioner households who received a £300 Cost of
Living Payment last winter as an addition to the Winter Fuel Payment. Pensioners will
also receive a further £300 additional payment later this year in their Winter Fuel
Payment.</p><p> </p><p>In April, the State Pension saw its biggest ever rise, increasing
by 10.1%. The full yearly amount of the basic State Pension will be over £3,050 higher,
in cash terms, than in 2010. That’s £790 more than if it had been uprated by Prices,
and £945 more than if it had been uprated by earnings (since 2010).</p><p> </p>
