Pay full £650 Cost Of Living Payment and £400 energy rebate to everyone directly

Closed 73 signatures

What the petition asks

The £650 Cost Of Living Payment should be given to everyone equally, no matter their circumstances. The £400 energy rebate should also be given to everyone directly so it can be used to cover other costs, not to the energy providers to then pass on to customers through a reduction in their bills.
Currently, only people on certain benefits or tax credits are eligible for the largest cost of living payment of £650. This should change to help everyone during these hard times.
