The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an explanation as to why £150 cost of living payments have started cropping up in certain people's bank accounts early.
The sudden appearance of the money come March 28, before the new financial year when all relating payments were thought to be scheduled, left claimants bamboozled on social media.
There are five new cost of living payments which are set to land in accounts over the course of the new financial year - which starts April 6 - with the DWP revealing that the first of those, a £301 payment, will land between April 25 and May 17. This will come to certain people who receive means-tested benefits.
