Last of three instalments totalling up to £900 paid to people on means-tested benefits
Eight million households on means-tested benefits will receive their final cost of living payment to help with high food and energy bills from Tuesday.
The £299 payment, the last of three instalments that totalled £900, will go directly into people’s bank accounts between now and 22 February, without the need to apply. It is part of the government’s £104bn cost of living support package.
