As the cost-of-living crisis continues, many households are struggling financially

Cost of living payments will start to land in bank accounts next week

Millions of UK households will receive a £301 payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) between 25 April and 17 May. It is the first of three payments, totalling up to £900, for those eligible and on means-tested benefits, such as universal credit or pension credit, in 2023/24. There will also be further payments worth £150 for eligible people with disabilities and £300 for pensioners due later this year, meaning some people will receive up to £1,350 in direct payments.
