The Department for Work and Pensions has issued an update for millions of people set to receive a £900 cost of living payment next year. The payment was announced by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in his Autumn statement in November and will be given to around eight million people on means-tested benefits.
While further details of the payment have not been confirmed, Martin Lewis previously said the money could be given in instalments similar to this year's £650 cost of living payment, which was given in two stages in July and November.
