The first instalment of the £650 cost of living payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has started landing in people's bank accounts.
The £326 sum will be issued to people across Scotland and the UK who claim certain benefits from the UK Government department. Millions of households will receive the money in the coming weeks, with all claimants originally scheduled to get it by the end of July.
As reported by the Daily Record, the DWP has confirmed that seven million eligible households are "on track" to receive the money by the end of the month. However, those with "more complex circumstances" may need to wait longer for the payment.
