Kemi Badenoch, the Member of Parliament for the Saffron Walden constituency has welcomed that over 7,300 households across North Chelmsford and Uttlesford will receive £301 from the Conservative Government as the latest Cost of Living Payments begin to be sent out.
7,100 eligible individuals across the constituency will also receive the Conservative Government’s Disability Cost of Living Payment worth £150 again this year.
Over eight million households across the UK who claimed qualifying means-tested benefits during the eligibility period will be automatically paid £301 in their first payment this year. This direct support is part of the Conservative Government’s £94 billion package of cost of living support worth £900 this year for vulnerable households receiving means-tested benefits.
The payments are made directly with no need to apply or do anything to receive it.
In addition to means-tested cost of living support, the Energy Price Guarantee is continuing to help keep household energy bills as low as possible – ensuring the typical family pays no more that £2,500 for their energy bills until the end of June this year.
This support will be delivered alongside the Prime Minister’s five-point plan to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut waiting lists and stop the boats.
Commenting, Mrs Badenoch said:
“Households are facing rising living costs and this Government is rightly protecting the most vulnerable people across our constituency.
“7,300 families across North Chelmsford and Uttlesford are eligible for this additional payment, giving them the support and protection from rising prices.
“You can find all the support available at helpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk but if residents have any concerns, do email me and I will put you in touch with the organisations that can assist.”
