The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will soon roll out the first round of its Cost of Living payments which could reach £1,350 for some people.
The DWP said more than eight million families in the UK on means-tested benefits will automatically receive the first payment of £301 this spring. Meanwhile, more than 6.5 million people on disability benefits will receive an extra £150 this summer.
Across 2023/24, five Cost of Living payments will be handed out to vulnerable households, including pensioners and those with disabilities, the MEN reports.
