UNCOVERED: Dwp support available as winter help stops and new schemes begin - The Untold Story

We have rounded up the financial help still available as several support schemes come to an end. Whilst the weather may be getting warmer and radiators are being switched off, millions of people across the country are still struggling with the cost of living crisis.

The government's Cold Weather payment ended on April 1, which saw some households get £25 for every seven day period of very cold weather between November 1 and March 31, but is due to restart on November 1, 2023. The Warm Home Discount expired in March 2023, which had allowed households to get £150 off their electricity bill for winter.

The Energy Bill Support scheme has also ended. However, despite many schemes coming to an end, some sources of help have been extended and new ones have also been created to help households tackle rising bills.
