It is the first of three instalments, totalling £900 to those eligible and on means-tested benefits - such as universal credit, or pension credit.
More than eight million households across the UK will receive a cost of living support payment from today.
The £301 payment is the first of three instalments, totalling £900 to those eligible and on means-tested benefits - such as universal credit, or pension credit.The Department for Work and Pensions will send payments automatically and directly to recipients' bank accounts, with a reference of their national insurance number followed by"DWP COL".
Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said:"This latest additional payment will be welcomed by millions of families - as will further payments due over the next year." If you are eligible, the payment will be sent out automatically and the same way you receive your existing benefits - so you do not need to apply or do anything to receive it.
Those expecting the payment have been warned to be wary of scam messages purporting to require details - the DWP will not ask you for any personal details over the phone.
