DWP issues urgent scam warning for cost of living payment recipients

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued a warning to millions of Brits who are getting ready to receive the next wave of Cost of Living payments.

The payments are intended to help vulnerable households face the brunt of the worsening cost of living crisis sweeping across the country which has been fuelled by rising energy bills and cost of goods. Roughly eight million or so homeowners will receive the first part of the £900 payment package in Spring - the first instalment will come in at £301.

This will then be followed by another payment in the summer, the £150 disability cost of living payment, which will be handed out to six million people across the country. A further means-tested payment of £300 and the pensioner cost of living payment worth £300 will be issued in the autumn.
