Millions of households will start to receive payments of £324 into their bank accounts - but tax credit claimants may have to wait a bit longer.
As part of the Government's cost-of-living support, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced they would start making payments directly into eligible people's bank accounts.
The payments form the second part of a £650 sum being paid out to people receiving benefits such as universal credit, income-based jobseeker's allowance (JSA), income-related employment and support allowance (ESA), income support, pension credit, child tax credit and working tax credit.
