Cost of Living Support - Additional Support For lower Paid Workers

Further to the news item of 18 November, the district council has advised that householders in West Northamptonshire who work but are on a low wage can apply for the Government's Household Support Fund and potentially receive £250 in cash.
West Northamptonshire Council is urging residents on a wage of £400 or less to visit the Household Support Fund page on their website or to call on 0300 126 7000 to check if they are eligible for the payment, which is paid into a bank account in two instalments.

This scheme aims to support those who have not received any of the £650 Cost of Living Payment (paid in 2 lump sums of £326 and £324) and the previous phase of the Household Support Fund.

Applicants will need to be earning less than £400 a week (after tax, including any government benefits)
