The first of three cost of living payments will be made by the Government from today (April 25). The first payment will be £301, with those eligible receiving a total of £900.
The second and third payments of £299 and £300 will be paid later this year and in early 2024. There will also be a £150 payment for people on eligible disability benefits this summer, and a £300 payment on top of Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners at the end of 2023.
Around eight million people are set to receive the cost of living payments. However not all benefits will qualify, the Mirror reports.
