All the DWP benefits payment and cost of living dates in May as some schemes stopped
May’s Bank Holidays mean those expecting benefits payments are now subject to change too. .
It had been thought Chancellor Jeremy Hunt would increase the EPG to £3,000 during the March Budget, but he declined the raise and has extended the current support for three more months. That means the EPG will now end in July as things stand, but Mr Hunt could extend it further then. The extension of the EPG comes as the Government’s Energy Bill Support Scheme expired. The scheme was introduced by Rishi Sunak during his time as Chancellor and gave people installments towards £400 to help with bills, but the initiative ended in March.The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that millions on lower incomes will receive a £1,350 cost of living support boost this year.
