DWP Benefits: Households Can Now Claim £600 Cost‑of‑Living Boost

The UK Department for Work and Pensions has launched a new Household Support Fund that allows households not receiving standard DWP benefits to claim a one‑time grant of £600. The scheme, announced on 21 January 2026, targets families in Herefordshire struggling with soaring living costs, covering essentials such as food, groceries and energy bills. Applications can be submitted online through the DWP portal, with funds awarded within weeks of approval. The £600 boost aims to ease the financial burden on households facing inflation, reflecting the government’s broader cost‑of‑living support programme.
