Thousands of people on Universal Credit could miss out on the £900 cost of living payment over the next year, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has warned.
In a report released on Wednesday, the think tank said around 825,000 people could miss out on the payments because they earn "slightly" more than what you can to get Universal Credit.
It said this is because eligibility will depend on being on Universal Credit at least one month before each payment is due and if someone earns a bit more this particular month than they could miss out entirely.
