From today (July 14) nearly a quarter of households across the UK - including Scotland - will receive £326 in their bank accounts.
It comes as part of the first instalment of the £650 sum delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in a bid to help struggling households as the cost of living rises.
Other people such as pensioners and those with a disability will also be entitled to a payment of £300 and £150 respectively later this year as part of the Government's £37 billion support package. The second payment, which is set to be paid in the autumn with an exact date yet to be announced, will see another payment of £324.
