More cost of living payments are to land in millions of eligible accounts from today.
The DWP says most of the payments are made automatically as recipients have been urged to be on alert for potential scams. Fraudsters directly contacting people about cost of living payments could be trying to extract personal details.
The warning comes as people start to receive up to £600 in extra support from November 23. Millions of people on tax credits can also expect to see a second £324 cost of living payment enter their accounts in the next week.
