Full list of one-off DWP payments government is handing out in February 2023

Millions are continuing to struggle making ends meet as the cost of living crisis ploughs on, with expenses remaining high for every day essentials like energy, fuel, food and household bills. But in a bid to ensure the most vulnerable and people on low-income are still able to get by, the government has a range of financial support on offer.
