The Government has confirmed when the first instalment of a £650 payment to help people ride out of the impact of the cost-of-living crisis will be made. The Department for Work and Pensions announced that millions of people will receive the first portion worth £326 on July 14.
The payments will be dished out from this date until the end of the month. The second portion of the payment will be sent out in the autumn.
It is part of plans from the Government to offer support to those struggling to pay bills as costs rise across several areas including energy bills, fuel and food. In total, the Government says it is giving out £1,200 to vulnerable households this year, including a £150 council tax rebate.
