A whole host of cost of living payments have been dominating society's conversation when they were first announced in May by the former Chancellor, Rishi Sunak.
Since then, the three types of payments that are worth more than £37 billion in UK Government support, have been paid out to help those on low income, people claiming disability benefits, and those over State Pension age. The Daily Record reports that over 20 million payments are due to be made by the end of 2022.
These payments will follow the eight million that was made in July to those claiming the £650 cost of living payment, the first half worth £326. This payment was made to those claiming eligible Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits and was also paid at the start of September to Tax Credits-only claimants.
