Milton Keynes MPs have welcomed the news that 30,100 families will benefit from the Government’s £650 Cost Of Living Payment.
Households eligible will receive the first of two cost of living instalments totalling £650 from 14 July 2022.
A second instalment will then be paid in the autumn.
20,300 individuals in Milton Keynes are set to receive funding from the Government’s £150 disability top-up payment which will land in September, according to figures.
Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, said: “I understand how tough the global Cost Of Living crisis is for families across Milton Keynes so I’m delighted to see so many individuals and families most in need are set to benefit from this Government’s support.
“With more than 30,000 families receiving the £650 Cost Of Living payment, over 20,000 individuals benefitting from the disability top-up payment and 95,890 households eligible for the £150 Council Tax rebate I hope the burden of the Cost Of Living can be eased.
“This Conservative Government has shown during the pandemic and now that it will act to support those most in need when times are tough.”
Iain Stewart, the MP for Milton Keynes South, commented: "While it is impossible for any government to solve every problem, the priority of this Conservative Government is to help the millions of families struggling with the cost of living.
"That is why I am pleased to learn that 30,100 families in Milton Keynes will benefit from the Government’s £650 cost of living payment.
"This is alongside the 20,300 individuals in Milton Keynes who are set to benefit from the Government’s £150 disability top-up payment."
