Cost of living payment

If you claim certain benefits or tax credits, you may be eligible for an extra payment to help with the cost of living.

The government has announced further cost of living payments will be made between spring 2023 and spring 2024. These payments are:

• up to £900 for people on an eligible low income benefit
• £300 for pensioner households
• £150 for people on an eligible disability benefit

If you’re eligible, payments will be made automatically. Find out about the cost of living payment on GOV.UK.
