The government will soon roll out the first instalment of its cost of living payments which could reach £1,350 for select groups.
According to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), over eight million families in the UK on means-tested benefits will automatically receive the first payment of £301 this Spring. Meanwhile, over 6.5 million people on disability benefits will receive an extra £150 this summer.
Across 2023/24, five cost-of-living payments will be handed out to vulnerable households, including pensioners and those with disabilities.
