The means-tested/pensioner/disability amounts under gov.treasury.cost_of_living_support were populated for 2022-23 only and fell to zero from 2023-01-01 onwards. In fact the Autumn Statement 2022 announced a second package paid through 2023-24: - means-tested: £900 (Spring £301, Autumn £300, Spring 2024 £299), - pensioner CoL Payment: £300 (top-up to Winter Fuel Payment), - disability CoL Payment: £150. Set the 2023-01-01 values to those announced amounts and add an explicit 2024-01-01 reset to 0 so the model doesn't accidentally extrapolate the one-off into later years. Add YAML test coverage for 2022, 2023 (means only and stacked with pensioner), and the 2024 withdrawal.
