The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update on when people receiving Tax Credit will receive an extra payment to help with the cost of living. Many people in Nottinghamshire, and around the UK, are feeling the pinch as inflation causes prices of items to rise, and the extra cash is likely to come in very handy.
If you’re eligible, you’ll be paid automatically in the same way you usually get your benefit or tax credits. Your payment depends on your circumstances on a particular date or during a particular period.
A Cost of Living Payment will be paid if you get a qualifying low income benefit or tax credits. These payments are not taxable and will not affect the benefits or tax credits you get.
