People should start to receive the payments soon
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed over eight million families across the UK on means-tested benefits will soon receive a payment of £301 this Spring.
New DWP guidance on the Gov.uk official website states that exact payment windows and qualifying periods for eligibility will be announced soon and are designed to ensure a consistent support offer throughout the year. There has also been speculation that Chancellor Jeremy Hunt may announce additional support to help households with the cost of living crisis during this week's Budget , but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Around 1.3 million claimants will be eligible through legacy DWP benefits such as Jobseekers Allowance and Income Support, reaching a total of 8.1 million households.
