and also changing today — the national living wage, known by many as the minimum wage, is going up by more than a pound an hour. the main wage rate goes up from £10.42 to £11.44 an hour, and it will also now apply to workers aged over 21, rather than 23. that means someone working full—time on that wage will have a pay rise of around £1,800 per year. sarah pennells is the consumer finance specialist at pension company royal london. i asked her if today's energy price cap reduction was good news for customers. it does really depend on someone�*s individual circumstances, which sounds like a bit of a cop—out, but it does depend on your wage level. it does depend on the tax bracket you're paying, whether you use broadband, how much energy you use. i think to sort of pick off some of the easy ones, i mean, the energy price cap, which as you said in your introduction, it covers 29 million households, those who are on the standard variable tariff. that is good news because it will mean an average saving for this typical user of £20 a month. now, not everybody will save that amount

carers uk says recent pay rises and a near 10%jump in the national living wage mean some carers face having to face cutting their hours, or risk losing their allowance. the dwp are not really in a real—life situation. i don't think they understand how important it is for us to get out and work for our own mental health and ability to earn as well. so the impact of having to cut hours will actually result in us claiming more benefits, so it is a bit of a vicious circle. carers uk wants the government to raise the earning limit to the equivalent of 21 hours of the national living wage per week and modernise the entire system. we should be doing more to help carers and give them peace of mind that they are able to do that without the worry of going over the earnings limit or making them take the really difficult decision between trying to still get their benefits or giving up work to care, which can be catastrophic in both the short and long term for theirfinances. there is also growing political pressure as a number of former dwp ministers are calling on the government to pause deman
