This winter, millions of people could be given a payment of up to £600 towards their heating bills. It comes as many people in the UK struggle to pay their bills due to soaring prices.

The payments will come through as a wam home discount. This scheme is a one-off payment worth £150 that is given to the poorest households to help with energy bills each winter.

But officials are also said to have plans for a one-off increase of £300, £500 or even £600, according to The Times. The newspaper reports that the Chancellor is set to tackle energy bills with a package in July, before focusing on general tax cuts in the autumn.
