So Rishi is out splashing the cash. Headlines so far are a windfall tax on oil and gas producers will pay for a £650 grant to less well off households, and a £400 fuel bill rebate for everyone - this £400 is instead of the £200 loan previously announced.

… plus a one-off Disability living allowance uplift of £150

So it looks like everyone gets £400, less well off people get £1,150, and if you’re less well off and on DLA you get £1,300, which I think might be more-or-less the entire spike in the energy price cap compared to where it would typically be.
