This is in addition to the over £37bn of cost of living support announced earlier this year which includes the £400 non-repayable discount to eligible households provided through the Energy Bills Support Scheme.</p><p /><p>The £37 billion Cost of Living package includes UK-wide support to help disabled people with the particular extra costs they are facing, with 6 million people who receive non-means-tested extra-costs disability benefits, including DLA and PIP, due to receive a one-off Disability Cost of Living Payment of £150 before the beginning of October. Households with more than one disabled child will receive a Disability Cost of Living Payment for each eligible child. In addition, households where someone is in receipt of a means-tested benefit will be eligible for up to an additional £650 in Cost of Living Payments.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 27/09/2022 10:24:45 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
