All the dates and changes for 2023 we know so far
With millions of UK households across the UK needing a boost to their finances just to keep up with rising inflation and the cost of living increases, knowing when and if extra cash might be coming your way is essential. The government has announced and, in some cases, already provided millions of people with extra cash to help offset rising costs with payments in the form of cost of living payments, energy rebates, cold weather payments, warm home discounts and the household support fund.
January to March 2023 - energy discount The third energy bill discount payment, worth £400 in total, began to be sent out from November. The £400 is being split up into six instalments so households have already received £66 in October and November with a £67 payment in December. This will continue in January, February and March 2023 .
In addition, the benefit cap will rise from £23,000 to £25,323 for families in Greater London and from £20,000 to £22,020 for families nationally. Lower caps for single households without children will rise from £15,410 to £16,967 in Greater London and from £13,400 to £14,753 nationally. If you care for someone at least 35 hours a week , you can claim Carer’s Allowance. From April next year, the rate will increase from £69.70 to £76.74 a week.The Disability Living Allowance is being replaced by Personal Independence Payment for disabled people. You can only apply for DLA if you're under 16 and you live in England or Wales. Those who live in Scotland can apply for Child Disability Payment. For adults, further details on the eligibility criteria can be found here.
The government said: "This winter the Energy Price Guarantee is saving a typical household in Great Britain around £900, compared to undiscounted energy prices under the price cap. As announced in the 2022 Autumn Statement, the Energy Price Guarantee will be extended from April 2023 until April 2024.
