The Department for Work and Pensions has now clarified when the second cost of living payment will hit bank accounts across the country to help families worried about the impact of rising prices.
People across the country who are receiving certain benefits or tax credits are eligible for a payment to help with the cost of living crisis, which will be automatically paid in the same way they would usually receive benefits or tax credits.
The first Low Income Cost of Living Payment, £326, was paid to most people in September, but there was some uncertainty about the date of the second payment after inaccurate reports that cash would be sent out from today, Saturday October 1, according to our sister site Leicestershire Live.
