Scottish households have been urged to look out for scams as cost-of-living support payments of £324 start arriving in bank accounts today.
Around 689,000 households in Scotland will automatically receive the money, which is part of a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) package for those on means-tested benefits.
The payments are made directly into recipients’ bank accounts, with no need to apply or do anything, meaning Scots should not respond to scam texts or emails asking people to fill out application forms.
