Summary

  • Ticks off two more entries in Documentation pages #771's docs-pages todo list (CoL payments + Energy bills rebate) with a single combined page, since both are short-lived treasury transfers with very similar mechanics.
  • New page at docs/book/programs/gov/treasury/cost-of-living-payments.md covering:
    • Energy Bills Rebate: the £150 Council Tax Rebate (bands A-D) and the £200 energy bills credit (de-loaned in May 2022), with parameter pointers under gov.treasury.energy_bills_rebate.
    • Cost-of-Living Payments: both the 2022-23 and 2023-24 packages — means-tested £650 / £900, pensioner £300, disability £150 — including the stacking behaviour the cost_of_living_support_payment formula implements and the 2024-01-01 reset.
  • Links HMT/DWP announcements, the cost-of-living-payments-2023-to-2024 guidance, and CBP-9501.

Pure documentation; no parameter or variable changes.

Test plan

  • Markdown lints cleanly; no broken table rows or fenced blocks.
  • Docs build job picks up the new page under programs/gov/treasury/.

Ticks off two more entries in the #771 docs-pages todo list.

Covers both 2022-23 packages in one page since both are short-lived
treasury transfers with very similar mechanics:

- Energy Bills Rebate (Feb 2022): £150 council tax rebate (bands A-D)
  plus the £200 energy bills credit (de-loaned in May 2022).
- Cost-of-Living Payments: the 2022-23 and 2023-24 means-tested/pensioner/
  disability strands, including the stacking behaviour the formula
  implements and the 2024-01-01 reset to zero.

Page is documentation-only and points at the existing
gov.treasury.energy_bills_rebate and gov.treasury.cost_of_living_support
parameter trees.
