This includes support for all domestic electricity customers in Great Britain, with £400 off their bills from October through the expansion of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS). It also includes support for over 8 million households across the UK in receipt of means tested benefits with a one-off Cost of Living Payment of £650, additional one-off payments of £150 to support disabled people with extra costs they face, and one-off payments of £300 to help over eight million pensioner households with the costs of energy. For families that still need additional support; the government is providing an extra £500 million of local support, via the Household Support Fund.
