Scores of people across the UK are due to receive extra money in June from benefit rises and cost of living payments - here's a round-up of what to expect.
Many benefit claimants will see their allowances increase for the first time this year as the new 2023/2024 rates are applied. There will also be a one-off boost for Carer's Allowance recipients in some parts of the UK, as well as a new £150 cost of living payment from the Department for Work and Pensions for people on disability benefits.
As there are no bank holidays this month, benefit payments will be made on the normal dates - except where they fall on a weekend and are then moved to the previous working day. This applies to Universal Credit payments due on the 3rd or 4th, 10th or 11th, 17th or 18th, or 24th and 25th, reports Birmingham Live.
