Households in on part of the UK are being offered up to £100 in cost of living vouchers in December to spend on food at supermarkets , energy bills and other essentials. The Household Support Fund has been extended for 2025 until March 2026, though each council sets its own application deadline.

The scheme sees the DWP send funds to local councils across the UK for the authorities to distribute to those in need as they see fit.
