Struggling households could be eligible for extra cost of living help as food prices and bills remain high. It comes as the Government is offering five different payments during the 2023/2024 financial year.
And 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, reports Chronicle Live.
A one-off sum of £150 is also being paid into accounts of people on disability benefits, such as the Personal Independence Payment, between June and July 4. You have to have been eligible for the benefits on April 1, or have a later claim backdated to cover that date, to receive either payment.
