DWP shares 'simple rule' which may help people claim £301 cost of living payment

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has become clearer on the rules regarding eligibility for the cost of living payments made across 2022 - with new guidance springing up for the 2023/24 payments.

The dedicated page for frequently asked questions on the payment may help people understand if they're due to receive the first part of the new £900 payment - which is broken down into £301 for instalment one.

At the time of writing, it's worth noting that no qualifying period of payment dates have been confirmed for the cost of living payment, but it's estimated that the initial £301 payment will land for more than eight million across the UK in the spring.
