The DWP has rejected a call to move Cost of Living Payments forward to April 1.
A £900 Cost of Living Payment will be paid to those on means tested benefits in three installments this year with the first £301 payment taking place this Spring, however the exact dates of this are yet to be revealed.
An amendment proposed during the second reading of the Social Security (Additional Payments) (No.2) Bill on Monday, by Liberal Democrat MP Wendy Chamberlain called for all eligible claimants receive their payments “no later than 1 April 2023”.
