Millions of people across the UK will be looking forward to receiving the first half of a promised £650 cost of living payment this coming week. However, they have been warned that they could have to wait longer.
The payments should start to arrive in the bank accounts of those that are eligible from July 14. However, DWP minister David Rutley said that it was expected "the majority of payments" would be made by the end of July.
That means that some people will receive the much-needed cash sooner than others, with payments being staggered. The DWP is using a computer program to identify everyone on means-tested benefits who is eligible for the support.
