Energy bill discounts are expected to rise for benefit claimants in Wednesday's Budget, the i Paper reports. The paper says the measure comes as Andy Burnham is under pressure to help with the cost of living.
The report adds detail on who the energy package would be aimed at. Treasury insiders have described the support as "targeted and temporary", and the Guardian reported that they put its cost at perhaps £1.5bn.
The Telegraph's Tony Diver has also said that a "package" on energy will address bills.
The Treasury has not confirmed the measure, its cost or who would qualify. The report has not been independently checked.
