Cost of Living Crisis – A Message from The Insurance Charities

From this month the cost-of-living crisis will place the greatest pressure in recent years on households across the UK and Ireland.

With Ofgem having increased the energy price cap by 54 per cent, a sharp rise in fuel bills will combine with several other factors, resulting in what some experts predict will be the sharpest drop in living standards in decades.

In addition to food and petrol prices escalating, many of us are likely to see rises in:

Council tax payments
National insurance contributions
Water bills

Those receiving benefits will receive an uplift of just 3.1 per cent, in the face of inflation which could hit eight per cent.
