Media comment: Autumn Budget 2021

Published on:

27 October 2021

Nick Hill, money expert at the Money and Pensions Service commented.

“We know that a lot of people are worried about their finances right now and will be wondering what the measures announced in today’s Budget might mean for them. 

“If you think changes to the Universal Credit taper rate may apply to you, or you think you may be claiming Universal Credit in the future, MoneyHelper’s free Money Manager Tool is a great place to start. This will help you budget and manage your money through any changes to your payments.

“If you think you will be impacted by any other changes announced in today’s Budget, visit MoneyHelperOpens in a new window for free tips and tools to help you manage your money, such as the Money Navigator for guidance based on your personal situation. Alternatively, you can speak to MoneyHelper’s money and pensions experts, who can help you understand what steps to take next, by calling 0800 138 7777.”
