Some are still waiting
By the end of today , more than seven million households will have received the £301 cost of living payment.
Mel Stride, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, said: “Paying more than seven million households £301 in a little over a week underlines our commitment to ensure those on the lowest income are protected from the worst of rising prices and give them peace of mind. Jeremy Hunt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, added: “We know the impact that rising prices are having on families, which is why we are providing significant support to millions through these direct cash payments. This is alongside other support, including holding down energy bills, uplifting benefits and the state pension by 10 per cent, and increasing the National Living Wage by a record amount.
Accompanying these are the £150 payment for those on eligible disability benefits, made this summer and the £300 top-up for Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners at the end of the year. This means that some people will receive up to £1,350.
