Millions of families who claim means-tested benefits will start to receive a one-off £650 cost of living payment from next month.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has now revealed exactly how many people from different parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive the cash.
Around eight million households in total are due to get the £650 payment from the Government, which is being handed out to help cover the cost of rising bills.
The cash is being split up into two payments. Those who claim Universal Credit, income-related ESA and JSA, Income Support, and Pension Credit will receive £326 from July 14.
The second £324 payment is expected to be sent to eligible households in autumn.
Those who claim tax credits will receive their first payment slightly later.
The first instalment is not expected to be processed until the autumn, with a second payment to follow in winter - although no exact date has been confirmed yet.

I'm not eligible for the £650 - what help can I get?
There are two other one-off payments being made to vulnerable households.
This includes £150 for those who claim certain disability benefits and £300 for pensioners in receipt of Winter Fuel Payments.
Every home will also receive £400 off their energy bills, spread out over six months from October.
This is in replacement of the £200 "loan-not-loan" that had originally been announced last year by the Chancellor.
The original £200 was criticised as not doing enough to help families, as the money had to be paid back starting from 2023 when energy bills are still likely to be high.
The new £400 discount doesn't need to be paid back and is applied directly to your energy bills.
The Household Support Fund has also been extended again by another £500million.
Some of the help that is offered through the Household Support Fund includes money towards your bills and supermarket vouchers.
However, the support does vary between councils - as well as the eligibility criteria.
This means each local authority decides who to give the money to, and how the money should be spent - so you may face a postcode lottery in terms of the help available to you.
