DWP giving millions on Universal Credit and other benefits extra cash from next month

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will deliver its latest round of cost of living support from next month.

People on certain benefits or tax credits can get extra cash to help with the cost of living crisis. If you’re eligible, you’ll be paid automatically in the same way you usually get your benefit or tax credits.

The DWP confirmed more than eight million low income households across the UK will receive the £650 in financial aid to help with mounting costs as the price of energy, food and petrol skyrocket. The payment will be split into two instalments as eligible claimants should have received now £326.
