It will support millions of people
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed the date people will start receiving the first part of the £900 cost of living payments. Millions of people on means-tested benefits will receive the support in three payments from the Spring.
To receive the payment, you must claim one of the following means-tested benefits during the qualifying period, The Mirror reports : Those who receive just Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit - so no DWP benefits - are also eligible for the £301. However, HMRC will pay this first instalment at a later date, which has yet to be confirmed.
All the cost of living payments will be tax-free, will not count towards the benefit cap, and will not have any impact on existing benefit awards.
