The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will soon be rolling out the first instalment of the £900 Cost of Living payments.
Millions of people on means-tested benefits are expected to receive the first payment worth £301. It will be the latest in support for households which was previously announced in the autumn statement after eight million people received £650 in Cost of Living payments throughout 2022.
Households receiving means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and tax credits will receive extra support from Spring. Meanwhile, a separate £150 will be made available for over six million people living with disabilities as well as £300 for over eight million pensioners on top of their Winter Fuel Payments.
