New cost of living payments announced
The government has announced details of when the next round of cost of living support payments will begin.
The £900 cost of living payment for people on means-tested benefits, will start to go directly into bank accounts in the Spring.
Benefits claimants, including people on Universal Credit, Pension Credits and Tax Credits, will receive the money in three payments over the financial year.
There will also be a separate payment of £150 for disabled people and an extra £300 for pensioners to top up their Winter Fuel Payments.
