DWP issue update to people who think they should have had a first £326 Cost of Living Payment

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has provided an update for everyone expecting to receive a £326 cost of living update.

You may be eligible for extra financial support from the government if you claim benefits or tax credits, according to the government. If you are eligible, the cost of living payment will be made automatically to the same bank account that receives benefit or tax credit payments.

If you receive certain tax credits and believe you should have received a £326 cost of living payment but have not yet received it, the DWP has now updated its guidance. The new guidance allows for tax credits claimants to notify HMRC that they believe they should be in possession of a cost of living payment from the government.
