This year will the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) hand out five cost of living payments to support low-income and vulnerable households with a boost of up to £1,350.
While this support will last throughout 2023 and early 2024, many are questioning whether more support will come for the rest of next year amid concerns about costs remaining high. Former Labour minister Sir Stephen Timms asked the government to reveal when a decision would be made regarding payments next year.
Government support this year and last came in the form of cash boosts for low-income families worth £900 as well as one-off payments for pensioners and those with disabilities. When Sir Stephen asked about the future payments in Parliament on Tuesday, July 4, employment minister Guy Opperman replied that it was "monumentally above my pay grade" to announce when a decision to extend support would be made.

However, he suggested an announcement could be made by the Chancellor in the autumn statement. In the Commons, Sir Stephen asked: “When does he envisage making a decision about whether the cost-of-living payments will be continued for a further year? When this year is that decision likely to be made?”
Mr Opperman replied: “He will know, because he and I have worked together for many years – and I would like to say it is together – and he will know that I have been a humble junior functionary at the Department for Work and Pensions for a very long period of time, never to rise any higher.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Sorry, Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy: Marjorie has stolen the show again. Not that Taylor Swift’s beloved grandmother actually puts in a vocal appearance from the great beyond, as she did on the “Evermore” album three years ago. But Marjorie Finlay still manages to be a dominative force in the Vault Tracks for the newly released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” by having her photos appear throughout the lyric video for the closing track, “Timeless,” and having her relationship with Taylor’s granddad be a focus of the inspirational ballad. Twenty-first-century pop-punk or emo can hardly compete with that emotional a capper. But for those less sentimentally inclined, Paramore’s singer and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump will be way up there in what Swift fans immediately take away from the six previously unheard compositions that have been appended to the previous 16-track running order of 2010’s “Speak Now.” The duet with Williams, “Castles Crumbling,” is particularly pungent, as a lament that just about could have been an outtake from the more recent “Folklore” or “Evermore” instead of an album that came out a full decade before those. As for the FOB-aided track, it’s the farthest thing from a Swift classic. But — having been written, like the rest of these tracks, when the artist was 18 or 19 — the number does hark back to an era when girls (and Fall Out Boys) could just wanna have fun.
