Households across the UK could soon receive a cash boost worth up to £451 from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Amid the cost of living, with food prices and bills remaining exceptionally high, the Government is offering five different payments for under-pressure households during the 2023/2024 financial year.
Among these is a £301 cost of living payment for people on benefits such as Universal Credit, which was given out by the DWP from April 25 to May 17. But some people say they are only just now receiving it because they were missed out the first time or only later became eligible because of a new benefit claim being backdated, the Mirror reports.
