The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update for the households that are still waiting for the first half of their £650 Cost of Living payment.
So far, over 7.2 million payments of £326 have been issued to struggling households, according to the DWP. In total, it means around £2.4bn has been paid out to families across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
With the first payments being made on July 14, it means the government has paid an average of over a million families every working day since. It comes as part of the government's £37 billion support package which will see millions receiving £1,200 this year to help with rising costs, including the £650 Cost of Living payment and a £150 Council Tax rebate.
