A number of payments are set to arrive over the next month for those claiming benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). There are a number of packages on the way for households feeling the pinch as the cost of living crisis continues.
Despite the expiration of the Energy Bill Support Scheme at the end of March this year, millions of households across the country will receive further cost of living support totalling £1,350, reports Birmingham Live. Eight million eligible means-tested benefits claimants, including people on universal credit, pension credit and tax credits, will receive £900 in instalments from this spring.
There will also be a separate £150 payment for more than six million people. And extra £300 for over eight million pensioners will also be paid in winter.
