The new support package will be delivered next year.
When the Autumn Statement was published in November, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt promised a new series of cost of living payments to support millions of UK households.
Last week, Jonathan Ashworth MP, asked the DWP if they will take steps to ensure that the £900 cost of living payment will not exclude benefit claimants whose Universal Credit payments have been reduced to a nil award as a result of a sanction. The DWP Minister also explained that those who were determined to have a nil award for Universal Credit during the qualifying assessment period could be eligible for a 2022/23 cost of living payment retrospectively. They will only be eligible if the sanction is successfully appealed, or if they are awarded a Hardship payment in the qualifying period.
