The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is set to administer new Cost of Living payments in 2025 through the extension of the Household Support Fund (HSF).
The UK government announced the extension of the HSF for six months.
Eligibility:
You may be eligible to get payments to help with the cost of living if you are getting certain benefits or tax credits. You do not need to do anything to apply.
If you are eligible, you will be paid automatically in the same way you receive your normal benefit payments or tax credits.
These additional cost of living payments will be made separately from your normal payments; they are not taxable and will not affect any of the benefits or tax credits you get.
Entering February 2025, many are continuing to look for ways to keep household costs low as new expenses arise.
Household bills, groceries, mortgages, and rents have all hit record highs over the past year, as the country navigates the ongoing cost of living crisis.
