DWP cost of living payments for Universal Credit, DLA, PIP, ESA and Pension Credit claimants could reach £1,350

Hundreds of households in need could benefit from cost-of-living support payments of as much as £1,350 depending on circumstances.

That's because a combination of payments for those households in receipt of different benefits could be paid out together - and that'd be a massive help to some people living in dire financial straits.

Five different payments are being given out by the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) in the 2023/2024 financial year and some households could get more than one. More than eight million UK households on means-tested benefits are set to receive £900 paid out in three separate instalments over the coming months.
