Millions of people are set to receive a new cost of living payment in the coming months - but many will miss out altogether. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will deliver the first part of a £900 cost of living payment in spring to help with rising living costs.
The first instalment will see households on means-tested benefits given a payment of £301. The department has yet to confirm the qualifying dates or any date for when the money will hit bank accounts, but more details are due in the coming weeks. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is also set to deliver his spring budget on March 15, which may include further details of financial support for struggling households.
But although around eight million people are expected to be eligible for the £301 payment, some will miss out altogether. Here are the people who will not receive the payment this spring. To get all the latest money-saving news straight to your inbox sign up here.
