With soaring energy bills and rising inflation, people are becoming even more reliant on cost of living payments which will provide a much-needed boost to millions of households across the UK.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has already issued the first instalment of the £650 means-tested cost of living payment to more than 7.2 million people. However, no specific dates have yet been announced for the second payment for £324 which is due to land in accounts this autumn.
Those who claim Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and no other means-tested benefit from DWP, will receive their payment of £326 between Friday, September 2 and Wednesday, September 7. Meanwhile, the second round of support is due to be made in the winter, the Daily Record reports.
