Recommendation
We recommend that the Government consider a greater number of lump-sum payments than the two in 2022–23, which would better ensure that more households have support at the time of their greatest need, and would reduce the severity of the disincentives to work within each relevant assessment period. We recommend mirroring the payments model used in the Energy Bill Support Scheme—a payment each month for six months—which provided regular help over the colder winter period.
