Extend cost of living payments to low income households beyond February 2024

(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,503 - 243 added in the past 24hrs)
I don't think the cost of living crisis is going away anytime soon, however the Government intend to make the final payment in February 2024. I think many low income households are going to be feeling the impact of rising cost of living and will need support throughout the year.
