Thousands of people are being urged to take steps to make sure they receive the latest £324 cost of living payment from the DWP, and time is running out.
Independent Age, the national older person’s charity, says eligible older people can claim the cash by putting in an application for Pension Credit by next Sunday (December 18). People who do so may then be able to backdate the claim for up to three months, to receive £324.
The cash is the second half of a total of £650 offered from the government to help the most vulnerable during the cost of living crisis.
