A cost of living quick guide can help you check support with energy bills, benefits, Council Tax, housing costs, food and debt. Start by using the benefits calculator and cost of living information on GOV.UK, then check your local council’s support schemes and your energy supplier’s affordability help. Eligibility and payment amounts depend on your circumstances and are decided by the relevant organisation. If you are struggling with debts, consider free guidance from a charity such as Citizens Advice or StepChange.
