DWP £450 cost of living boost for millions landing in bank accounts in days

Under-pressure households could be eligible for extra cash to help with the cost of living, as bills and food costs remain high.

The Government is offering five different payments during the 2023/2024 financial year, The Mirror and Birmingham Mail reports.

Among these is a £301 cost of living payment for people on benefits such as Universal Credit, which was given out by the DWP from April 25 to May 17. However, some say they are only just receiving it now because they were missed out the first time or only later became eligible.
