People all across the country have received a text alert over an upcoming £150 payment being sent out next week.
Six million benefit claimants are expected to receive the money from Tuesday, June 2020. The disability cost of living payment means that many households will receive a boost to their finances, however, it is important to ensure that any text claiming to be from the DWP is genuine.
Many vulnerable households could be at risk of internet and phishing scams in relation to the cost of living payment. Emails, calls, or text messages could be sent from scammers pretending to be the DWP or any other government agency in an attempt to steal people's information.
