The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update as people start to get their second cost of living payments. On Tuesday, November 8, the first of the £324 payments were sent out to eligible people on means-tested benefits.
The payments are the second instalment of the £650 one-off payments that the government is handing out to the people struggling most amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. The first instalment of £326 was paid back in July.
Claimants have been warned that not everyone will get their payment at the same time. While some people may have seen the money land in their account already, some might be waiting for another couple of weeks.
