Martin Lewis has issued a warning ahead of the £66 payment being issued to Britons this month. As the cost of living skyrockets, millions of households will receive non-repayable discounts from the government this winter, with a £400 discount being paid to consumers over the course of six months.
The first payment of £66 will land in bank accounts this month, although some of those expecting to receive the payment have expressed their confusion over when the money will be deposited into their bank account. On Good Morning Britain this morning, October 3, Susanna Reid put financial queries from viewers to her fellow presenter Martin Lewis, who last week struggled to answer questions due to the severity of the cost of living crisis.
Susanna asked Martin: "Merv Honeywood on Twitter [asked], 'Any ideas on when in October the first £67 gets credited to electricity? I keep getting vague emails about October but nothing more specific.'"
