Martin Lewis explains the 'clever' reason DWP Cost of Living payments are slightly different

Many people expecting to receive the next series of Cost of Living payments from the government may have noticed that they're a bit different from 2022.

Throughout 2023 and 2024, three instalments of the £900 payment will be rolled out for eight million Brits receiving means-tested benefits. The first of these payments will be handed out in Spring 2023 which, as money-saving expert Martin Lewis explains, will be after the next tax year which starts on April 6.

While we know around what time of year the payments will be dished out, the exact dates have not yet been released by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). What we do know, however, is that the first payment will cost £301, the second £300, and the third £299.
