Not all benefits claimants will receive the new £900 Cost of Living Support payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), a government minister has confirmed.
The £301 first instalment of the money – intended to help the vulnerable meet their energy bill commitments and grocery needs with inflation at a 40-year high – is due to go out into recipients’ bank accounts in spring this year, followed by another £300 in the autumn and a further £299 next spring.
