MILLIONS of people on Universal Credit won't get the £650 cost of living payment all at once. Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the extra cash would be dished out as part of a £15billion emergency package for low income households. More than eight million households will receive the help, which will be paid in two instalments. The first instalment is worth £326 and will land in bank accounts from 14 July - payments will be staggered from there. But the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) say applicants may not receive money at the same time. The DWP say it's because there are millions of payments that need to go out and they can't all be processed on a single day.

Families on low incomes are enduring a “year of financial fear” and making grim choices such as falling behind on bills, going without essentials or taking on expensive debt, a report has found.

It used a survey of about 4,000 people on low household incomes in May and June (the bottom 40%, which equates to an income of under £25,000 for a couple with no children), for the report. Rather than making the trade-off between heating or eating, one in five (21%) low income households were unable to do either – going without enough food as well as being unable to keep their homes warm, researchers found. Six in 10 (60%) had gone without essentials since the start of 2022, or, had cut down on or skipped meals, or gone hungry in the previous 30 days.
