Cost of living and state benefit payments will continue to be made in August and through the rest of the year - with payments already announced for 2024 - although there will be some changes next month.
People who need help with the cost of living are being given additional money with the first £301 payment already made in May for people on some benefits and another £150 for people with disabilities now being paid.
A second £300 cost of living payment is due this autumn before a third comes next spring.
