The DWP has issued an update on when millions of people will receive their second cost of living payment. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is due to deliver £324 to households across the UK in the autumn, the second instalment of its £650 payment being given to those who have been hardest hit by the cost of living crisis.
More than 7.2 million households received the first payment for £326 last month and a further one million families claiming tax credits will receive the financial support from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in September, reports the Daily Record. The payments were distributed between July 14 and 31 to those on means-tested benefits, though some had their payments delayed while others missed out altogether.

The DWP had previously said it would be giving out the second payment in the autumn, but had not given any further information. However, they've now given an update on when those who are eligible can expect to receive the money by.
