answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>The government is committing an extra £37 billion to support the most vulnerable this year. The £650 Cost of Living Payment is deliberately targeted at low-income households in receipt of a means tested qualifying benefit. For people above State Pension age, this is those in receipt of Pension Credit.</p><p> </p><p>With the full package of support, most pensioner households will receive £850 (via the additional Winter Fuel Payment, Council Tax Rebate &amp; Energy Bills Support Scheme) on top of arising state Pension, which has never been higher. Pensioners receiving means-tested benefits who are in most need of support will receive £1,500, including payments in July and the autumn totalling £650.</p><p> </p><p>If someone in receipt of a contributory State Pension, additionally makes a successful claim for Pension Credit, they may qualify for one or both instalments of the Cost of Living Payment. This is because claims for Pension Credit can be backdated for a maximum of 3 months, provided the entitlement conditions are met throughout the 3 months.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, all pensioner households will receive an extra £300 to help them cover the rising cost of energy this winter.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 11/07/2022 16:03:35 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

uin	31894
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises that disabled people face extra costs, which is why 6 million disabled people who are in receipt of a qualifying disability benefit will receive a one-off Disability Cost of Living Payment worth £150. This includes people in receipt of Disability Living Allowance. Households will receive a payment for each eligible disabled person.</p><p>Many disabled people are also in receipt of a means-tested benefit. Therefore, they will be eligible for both the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment and the £650 Cost of Living Payment. Disabled pensioners will in addition benefit from the £300 increase in the Winter Fuel Payment.</p><p>The Government is also providing an additional £500 million to help households with the cost of essentials, bringing the total funding for this support to £1.5 billion. In England, £421m will be used to further extend the Household Support Fund from October 2022 to March 2023.</p><p>Guidance and individual local authority indicative allocations for this further extension to the Household Support Fund will be announced in due course.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 13/07/2022 15:02:21 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
