More than 8 million households across the UK will receive a cash payment from next month to ease the rising cost of living pressures, it has been announced. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said that claimants could benefit from the offer as soon as next month.
The first instalment of the £650 will land in bank accounts from July 14, continuing to the end of the month, reports Daily Record. People who claim both a means-tested benefit and Tax Credits from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will receive the £326 from DWP next month.
Claimants who only receive either Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credit will receive the first of their two payments later this year - a date has still to be announced. However, some people are still unsure if the payment for £326 is for an individual or if it’s per household.
