Money expert Martin Lewis has predicted when millions of eligible households will receive the first cost of living payment this spring. More than eight million households are due to receive hundreds of pounds from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), but a date has not yet been set.
The £900 will be paid in three separate payments over the course of the financial year, which begins in April. Exact payment dates will be announced closer to the time according to the DWP, but they will be spread over a long period of time to ensure there is "consistent support" throughout the year.
