The DWP has further clarified who will be eligible for the first £301 cost of living payment. The money, part of a £900 package of support, is to be given to those on certain benefits to help with the rising cost of living.
It was recently announced after much anticipation that the first payment is to be made between April 25 and May 17. The money will be paid directly into the bank accounts of those eligible.
The Government is keen to stress that people do not need to apply for the payment. The DWP will never ask people for their personal information over text or email.
