Final cost-of-living payment to be paid out

EIGHT million people on means-tested benefits are now receiving their final cost-of-living payment to help with high prices and bills reports the BBC.

The £299 payment will go directly into bank accounts of those eligible before 22 February without the need to claim.

No further payments of this kind are scheduled and charities are urging the government to consider more support.
