Some people who claim Universal Credit are being denied the £326 cost of living payment from the UK Government.
The one-off sum was paid to millions of people across Scotland and the UK on a low income who claim qualifying means-tested benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The money is the first instalment of the £650 payment intended to help households through the cost of living crisis.
Over seven million people were transferred the money between July 14 and July 31. However, as reported by The Mirror, the payment has been denied to those who have been sanctioned by the JobCentre.
