HMRC has confirmed when households receiving tax credits will get their first £301 cost of living payment.
The first cost of living payment will be made between Tuesday, May 2 and Tuesday, May 9, for those households who are in receipt of tax credits and no other means-tested benefits the UK Government has announced today.
The £301 payment will be made automatically into claimants' bank accounts and will be the first of three payments totalling £900 that will be made this year.
