Brits waiting to get the first half of their government-issued cost of living payment are being warned to watch out for scammers. Millions of claimants on Universal Credit and other benefits will receive £650, with the first £326 payment to be given this month.
Most households will have been paid the cash, being issued to help with the sky rocketing cost of living, between July 14 and 31. But the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned of possible delays - for example, if someone has complications with their benefits in some way.
DWP advice is anyone still waiting for their £326 should contact the office that pays their benefits. And if you have still not had your money, don't fall for scammers asking you to apply for it.
