Disability: Cost of Living
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to support disabled people with the cost of living.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The government recognises that people are still feeling the squeeze on their finances with essential areas such as energy, food and housing remaining too high. That is why we have announced a range of support, including taking around £150 on average off household energy bills and expanding the £150 Warm Home Discount to 6 million lower income households and freezing regulated rail fares and NHS prescription fees for one-year.
