Millions of people who rely on benefits will be given a £324 cost of living payment from November 8, the government confirmed today.
This is the second half of a £650 sum paid to those who receive Universal Credit, Income Support, Child Tax Credit and some other benefits.
The first payment was made in July, when the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said they were "staggered" because of the large number of people eligible.
