The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update regarding the £300 cost of living payment this winter.
The UK Government department will add the one-off cash boost onto the Winter Fuel Payment. More than 8 million pensioners across Scotland and the UK will receive the money to help them deal with the cost of living crisis.
As reported by the Daily Record, the one-off payment will be transferred directly to eligible claimants. Alongside the Winter Fuel Payment, pensioners could receive up to £600 to help with energy bills this winter.
