The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued a response to explain an unexpected £150 payment in some accounts.
Some claimants have been confused by the cost-of-living payment that arrived in their account on March 28. The sudden appearance of cash has come before the start of the new financial year, which is when all new cost of living payments were initially scheduled.
A payment of this amount is to be given this summer to those on disability benefits so the unexpectedly early cash drop caused confusion - as Birmingham Live reports. People have taken to our sister site's Cost of Living UK Facebook page and reported they had received a £150 payment marked in their accounts as DWP COL to signify 'cost of living'.
