The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has provided more precise guidelines for members of the public who want to claim the first instalment of the £900 cost of living payment.
Millions of households across the UK have been waiting over the past few months to find out if they will be eligible for the next round of cost of living payments. Now, more specific details around who will be considered eligible for the payment have been released by DWP.
The payments will begin arriving in people's bank accounts between April 25 and May 17, just in time for the new tax year where a series of financial changes will be taking place, potentially putting more pressure on people's financial situations.
