Many people across Scotland and the UK may be eligible for extra help worth up to £450 with the cost of living as bills and food prices continue to soar.
As pressure continues to build for many households, the UK Government is offering five different payments to help people throughout the 2023/24 financial year.
Among these is the £301 cost of living payment, with those receiving benefits such as Universal Credit eligible for the boost. The payment was issued by the DWP from April 25 to May 17, however, some are only just receiving the cash due to being missed out earlier in the year or only becoming eligible due to a new benefit claim being backdated.
