The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued a Cost of Living payment update as more people are set to see £301 land in their bank accounts.
This £301 is the first of three DWP cost of living payments set to be issued to help with rising bills, totalling up to £900.
In March, the government department confirmed those claiming means-tested benefits would receive their first financial boost between April 25 and May 17. These benefits include Universal Credit, Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support and Pension Credit.
