The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could give anyone with less than £16,000 in savings £500 a month. Low-income households could be entitled to receive the extra cost of living support if they meet a certain criteria.
Many are unaware of the help they can receive through Universal Credit as they stretch their income to meet rising bills. The DWP can provide vital support to those who need it most as they provide an extra £500 a month to certain households.
This extra cash could be vital for families on low income feeling the squeeze, reports The Express. Universal Credit mainly takes into account one’s expenses and income to decide the rate they will receive.
