Work and Pensions Secretary, Chloe Smith said: "Millions of families will soon see a £324 cash boost as part of our extensive £1,200 support package, helping to raise incomes and manage the rising cost of living.
"We understand that people are struggling which is why and we’re committed to supporting the most vulnerable households. That’s also why we are focused on driving growth and delivering quality public services so we can continue to support those in need through these challenging times while boosting opportunity for all."
Nationally, around eight million households will get the payment, introduced to help families with the cost of living crisis. In the North East, 397,000 households are set for the boost.
