DWP cold weather payments to be replaced by one-off £50 lump sum for Scots this winter

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that it has processed 3.2million cost of living payments worth a total of more than £1 billion in the last two days to those on qualifying means-tested benefits. An estimated eight million payments of £324 are expected to be made before the payment window closes on November 23.

The latest figures shared by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that in February there were 22 million people across the UK claiming at least one benefit. That number includes nearly 12.5 million older people now in receipt of State Pension payments, a contributory benefit only available to those of retirement age with at least 10 years’ worth of National Insurance Contributions.

This regular payment is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age, which is now 66 for both men and women, and have paid at least 10 years of National Insurance contributions.
