Over eight million people who claim means-tested benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and HMRC have received the first part of their £650 cost of living payment.
This cash boost, worth £326, was due to be paid between August and September, and the second half, worth £324, will be paid in November to those on DWP benefits.
The Daily Record reports that those on Tax Credits will receive the second payment 'shortly after' the DWP claimants.
