Millions who receive Universal Credit and other state benefits will start to receive their first instalment of the £650 cost of living payment this week - which has been brought in to help people survive the squeeze of increasing inflation.
It is said that the £326 cash instalment which will land from Thursday (14 July) will be paid out to around 8.4 million households across the United Kingdom.
Those eligible for the payment who don't see it immediately this week should receive the cash by the end of July, although the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned of possible delays.
