The Department for Work and Pensions announced that it has issued cost of living payment to more than seven million households across the UK.
It comes after the DWP informed eligible households receiving means-tested benefits that they would get the first payment, worth £301, between Tuesday, April 25 and Wednesday, May 17.
The payments make up part of a wider government support package to help vulnerable households deal with the cost of living crisis.
The £301 payment will be followed by an additional payment of £300 in autumn 2023 and a third payment of £299 in spring 2024.
