Millions of people in the UK will soon receive the first instalment of the cost of living payment
Eight million people received £650 in payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) across 2022 to help with the soaring price of energy bills, petrol prices and food. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced people on means tested benefits will receive a £900 cost of living payment.
People who qualify for benefits such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit and tax credits will be eligible for the payment. A separate £150 will be made available for over six million people living with disabilities as well as £300 for over eight million pensioners on top of their Winter Fuel Payments - as M.E.N reports.
