DWP £300 Cash Boost From Monday

From the beginning of November, millions of households in the UK should anticipate receiving an additional £300.

The boost will be given alongside the DWP's £650 Cost of Living Payment. This month, struggling households can get money off their energy bills as part of a £400 government program.

The Winter Fuel Payment is given to selected pensioners in the United Kingdom who may be eligible to receive anywhere between £100 and £300 beginning in November.

However, not all pensioners are automatically eligible for the payment because certain criteria must be met.
