MILLIONS of Brits look set to receive the first chunk of Cost of Living payments in a matter of weeks.
This spring more than eight million Brits will get the first chunk of the £900 cost of living payment paid directly into their accounts.
Unlike last year’s help, this cost of living payment will be paid in three, not two, instalments – but the DWP is yet to confirm the exact dates the money will appear in bank accounts.
This is so hard-up households will get a “consistent support offering throughout the year”, the DWP said.
To be eligible for the payment, households will need to be claiming either Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance; Income-related Employment and Support Allowance; Income Support; Pension Credit; Tax Credits or Universal Credit.
