The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have issued an update on when claimants should receive their second cost of living payment.
The DWP confirmed more than eight million low income households across the UK will receive £650 in financial aid to help with mounting costs as the price of energy, food and petrol skyrocket. The payment will be split into two instalments as eligible claimants should have received £326 between July 14 and July 31 with a further £324 due to land in bank accounts in the autumn.
The DWP has now issued an update on when people should expect their second payment. DWP guidance states: "Second payment will be no later than October 31, 2022 to be specified by the Secretary of State in regulations." - as The Daily Record reports.
