The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that more than half of the first wave of Cost of Living payments for the year have been made so far.
New data from the government department states that 4.8 million payments have been processed by the DWP as of today (April 27). It is understood that just over 8 million people will receive the first set of support payments which are intended to help the most vulnerable households tackle the cost of living crisis.
However, the government has highlighted that some automated payments may fail, resulting in those expecting their payments not actually receiving it. There are many reasons why you may not have received your payment yet, however, it's important to note that the deadline for DWP cost of living payments is Wednesday, May 17, so you may need to hold on a while longer for yours.
