DWP warning to Glaswegians over £1350 cost of living payments
The post said: “Watch out for scammers targeting people about cost of living payments.”
They reminded eligible claimants that they did not need to apply for the payment or call the DWP, the payments would be automatically sent to them, and they would never ask for personal details via text or email.More than eight million people will qualify for a new £900 cash boost, available to people in receipt of means-tested benefits including Universal Credit, Pension Credit and tax credits.
Those £900 payments will begin in Spring and will be paid in three instalments directly into claimants’ bank accounts through the year. There will also be a separate £150 payment for more than six million disabled people, and an extra £300 for eight million pensioners on top of their Winter Fuel payments.
The exact payment dates are yet to be announced by the DWP, but this is when to expect each individual payment over the next year:Second cost of living payment - £300 – Autumn 2023
