Cost Of Living

So, are we in the six getting £400 per household to cope with the increase? If so no doubt by the time we get it the prices will have went up a further 30% at least.

Surely only people that actually need it will be getting it? Any family group earning a certain level won't be getting it?

Not means assessed I don't think.

Do you need it? That's the question

Is it not meant to be a loan?

It should only be given to people who need it but I suspect it's too much effort to work that out.

I don't think it's a loan. One of payment to everyone with an additional 600 potentially means tested. Or at least that was my understanding of it at the time.

If my bills are increasing the way they have been and are expected to, yes as that will be 2 months electric and gas paid for. I doubt if many will return it.

It's not a loan and it will be off your electric bill

So the money will be directly sent to your electrical providing company?

I thought I had read that every household would be getting the £400 in the autumn, but I was talking to someone from Power NI and they said that not everybody will be getting it. If true, those creaming the benefits system really are on the pigs back.

Wages will go up. Get into your employer and ask for more money. If they refuse go out and get a new job. That is the only way to beat the cost of living crisis.

If you c an, fill up the oil before the payment of £400 comes in.. Scummy bastards will increase prices as soon as the first penny hits someone's account
