To support hard-working local families with the cost of living, I secured a £400 grant for all domestic energy customers, a £650 cost of living payment for those on low incomes, and a £300 cost of living payment for vulnerable pensioners.
Next, under our plan, an additional £900 will be paid to those on means tested benefits; £300 to pensioners receiving Winter Fuel Payments and £150 to those on disability benefits. The National Living Wage will be increased to £10.42 an hour in 2023, benefitting 2 million workers.
