I know that people are worried about the rising cost of goods, energy prices, inflation and cost of living pressures after the pandemic and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Requests for advice and support to help with the cost of living forms a significant number of enquiries to my office.
Government support to help with cost-of-living pressures is worth over £37 billion in 2022-23. Millions of the most vulnerable households will get £1,200 of one-off support in total this year to help with the cost of living and their energy bills, with all domestic electricity customers receiving at least £400.
My team and I are always happy to assist you as best we can however, as your MP, I am unable to provide specific financial advice. It is sometimes better to speak with another advisory organisation in the first instance.
This online hub includes information on what help is available.
The Government website can be useful to establish what support you may entitled to: Check benefits and financial support you can get - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
