Thank you!

Since last summer, at @mmhpi we've been tracking how the cost of living is affecting the nation.

Today we've published our 3rd paper on it - where we've focused in on the impact on people with mental problems

Why are we, along with @MartinSLewis, calling for joined-up #MentalHealth & money support?

Because it could:

💜 help 27,000 more people with mental health problems recover each year
📈 double recovery rates for people with debt & depression
💷 save the government £144m/yr. 1/2

Over 100,000 people in problem debt in England attempt suicide each year.

Suicidal feelings are caused by an array of complex factors but the link with problem debt is clear.

This is a really positive step from @DWP. A number of people I'm supporting were on reduced benefit rates to make up for overpayments they received through no real fault of their own. Having that extra income during this period will make a big difference. Thanks for sharing Lee.
