A cost of living payment of £326 is expected to hit the bank accounts of hundreds of thousands in Wales over the next month as part of the government DWP ’s £37 billion support package. So, are you eligible?
The £650 cost of living payment will be made in two parts, with the first payment of £326 paid to seven million households across the UK who are on means-tested benefits from yesterday until July 31. Around 426,000 of those will be in Wales.
A second instalment of £324 “will follow from the autumn”, the Government states. Low-income households will receive at least £1,200 from the government by Christmas to help them pay their bills.
