Millions of people will receive the Government’s extra cost of living payment later this year. The £900 payment is given to those claiming certain benefits directly into their bank account.
The payments, paid in three instalments throughout the year, will be given to people on low-income benefits. Extra payments will also be made to pensioners and those with disabilities.
The first payment of £301 is expected to be paid in Spring 2023. The DWP has yet to confirm the exact date, but some experts, including Martin Lewis, suggest that it will be shortly after April 6 in line with the beginning of the new tax year.
