The Government recognises the cost-of-living challenges many disabled people are facing. Last winter, the Government launched a package of support for households and businesses, spending £40 billion and paying around half a typical household’s energy bill last winter. Since last winter, the Q4 2023 price cap of £1,834 has more than halved compared to the Q1 2023 price cap which stood at a high of £4,279. This is good news for households who have seen their energy bills come down. The Energy Price Guarantee will remain in place as a safety net until the end of March 2024, should energy prices increase significantly during this period. Additionally, the Government is providing further cost of living support to vulnerable households, including a £900 payment for those on means-tested benefits and an extra £150 for people on an eligible disability benefit.
