Nearly 100,000 struggling families in Leeds are due a direct payment of £301 to help ease the cost of living crisis - and our map shows how many will benefit where you live.
Households on means-tested benefits will automatically receive £301 between April 25 and May 17, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says. That amounts to more than £2.4 billion in funding provided to families across the UK.
In Leeds, more than £30m is being shared out among 99,800 families. That is the highest number of people eligible for the payout in all Yorkshire.

It also means three in 10 households in Leeds will receive the payment (29.2%).
You can see how many people will receive the benefit where you live with this interactive map:
Households could be eligible for this payment if they are in receipt of benefits including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and older benefits such as Jobseekers Allowance and Income Support. The first cost of living payment will be followed by a handout of £150 to 6.7m disabled people this summer.
There will then be a second cost of living payment of £300 in the autumn, and pensioners are set to benefit from £300 during the winter. Finally, a third cost of living payment of £300 will be paid in spring next year.
That means people on means-tested benefits will receive £900 but some people will receive up to £1,350 in direct payments. All payments will be made automatically to eligible households, there is no need to apply.
