The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) will be making cost of living payments worth up to £1,350 to eligible households this year.
Payments will be issued to the most vulnerable households throughout the country as the cost of living crisis continues. The amount is made up of the new means-tested £900 cash support which will be paid to over eight million benefits claimants, including those on Universal Credit, Pension Credit and tax credits. These payments will begin in Spring.
The DWP will also issue separate payments of £150 to eligible claimants with disabilities as well as £300 to pensioners on top of their Winter Fuel Payments.
