Millions of households on low incomes will receive £900 in cost-of-living support - but only by spring 2024.
The Department for Work and Pensions has unveiled the schedule for the next round of help for over 8 million people who claim means-tested benefits.
The payments, which will go to people on Universal Credit, Pension Credit and tax credits, begin in the spring and will go directly to bank accounts in three £300 cash boosts.
