The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed the payment date for the first portion of the £650 cost of living payment.
As part of measures intended to help ease burden of the cost of living crisis, around 8 million households across the UK who claim certain benefits will receive the payment in two batches over the coming months.
Today, the UK Government department announced that the first payment of £326 will be automatically paid into bank account starting July 14.
