The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update that clarifies who will not be eligible to receive the £900 cost of living payments.
The government is providing one-off payments in order to help vulnerable households cope with the soaring cost of living. The payments are automatic and eligible people will not need to apply.
However, it will be necessary for many households to figure out whether or not they will receive the payments so they can adjust their finances accordingly. How much you receive from the cost of living payment scheme will vary depending on what type of benefits you receive and when you received them.
