We're getting £250 each, I've tried to look up how this is worked out and all it says is that it includes a
"‘Pensioner Cost of Living Payment’. This is between £150 and £300. You’ll only get this extra amount in winter 2022 to 2023."
The WFA was £100 each last year so I infer that the £250 is £100 WFA + £150 one-off cost of living payment.
We are also getting £400 "energy payment" by way of credits to our electricity account each month from October for 6 months - I have already seen a £66.66 credit on my electric bill. I assume you will get this too LL & Zero.
So for our household that is £100 x 2 +£150 x 2 + 400 = £900. Very generous. And in addition to the cost of the "£2,500 energy cap". No wonder we have a budget deficit.
I am also claiming the Renewable Heat Incentive which for us is £165 per quarter for 7 years. So this year my expected £3,000 energy bill will be ameliorated by about £1580.
