Millions of people will receive help with energy bills over the coming weeks and months.
Cost-of-living payments worth hundreds of pounds will arrive in millions of people's accounts from Wednesday.
The latest payments are in addition to the £400 being distributed to every household, and the Energy Price Guarantee, which caps the price that suppliers can charge. For the vast majority of pensioners, the extra support with winter energy bills will be automatically paid into their accounts within the next two months. However people who do not receive benefits or the state pension will need to make a claim.
