Cost of living payments are set to help millions of people who are struggling financially across the UK - but many may still have questions about the initiative.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update as the second instalment of the £650 cost of living payment is set to be made to around eight million people. Part of the Government’s package of support, the payments also include a £300 pensioner cost of living payment - issued alongside the winter fuel payment - and a £150 disability payment. The money is intended to help with energy bills.
The payments are targeted at specific groups most vulnerable to rising costs, reports Birmingham Live. The DWP has provided responses to a series of frequently asked questions about the payments. These are listed below.
