Urgent £650 cost of living payment warning as pensioners have three weeks to apply

Pensioners have been warned they only have three weeks left to claim the £650 cost of living payment.

The payment will be made automatically to those who claim Pension Credit and other low-income benefits, but many people who are eligible for the benefit have not applied for it — meaning they will not receive the £650.

Those who qualify for Pension Credit need to put in a claim before August 18 in order to be eligible for the cost of living payment which was announced earlier this year by the UK Government to help people struggling financially amid the cost of living crisis.
