A million more UK households will receive a £301 Cost of Living payment next month, HMRC has confirmed.
Earlier this month the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said people claiming means-tested benefits will receive the money between April 25 and May 17. This is be the first of three DWP cost of living payments set to be issued to help with rising bills, totalling up to £900.
Those who receive just Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit - so no DWP benefits - are also eligible for the £301.
