More households receiving Universal Credit have been given a £150 payment to help with energy bills this winter. The payment aims to provide financial support amid rising living costs.
The government has expanded the number of eligible claimants to ensure wider access to this assistance during the colder months.
**Why this matters**
This payment helps ease the financial burden on low-income households facing increased energy expenses. By targeting Universal Credit recipients, the support reaches those who may be most vulnerable to cost of living pressures.
