Eight DWP cost of living payment rules and how to find out if you qualify

Millions of people are to receive cost of living payments from next month - here are the rules for those expecting to receive the cash.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said that £301 will land in people's accounts between April 25 and May 17. Two further instalments of £300 and £299 will follow, the first in the autumn and the second in spring 2024. Dates for those amounts have not yet been publicised.

There will also be a new £150 for people on disability benefits, to be paid in summer 2023, and another £300 top-up on the Winter Fuel Payment, reports BirminghamLive. The DWP says some people will qualify for all of the payments, potentially getting an extra £1,350 over the coming year.
