People set to receive cost of living payments have been warned of a new scam by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
The payments are set to help millions of households across the UK this year as part of the government's support package to ease the current financial pressures. Three payments totalling £900 will be paid directly into bank accounts, starting from spring 2023.
Those eligible, thought to be around eight million people, include those claiming benefits such as Universal Credit, tax credits and Pension Credit. The funds from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) come as a separate amount will be awarded to more than six million people with disabilities and more than eight million pensioners - who will receive £150 and £300 sums respectively - in addition to their winter fuel payments.
