Cost of living: disabled people and carers

Non-inquiry session

 

The cost of living has been increasing in the UK since early 2021, with low-income households the most affected.

Research shows that many disabled households not only have lower incomes but face higher energy and food costs to meet their additional needs.

In this one-off evidence session, we will be speaking to disabled people and carers about how they are managing with rising costs.
