Martin Lewis has cleared up confusion over when the next Department of Work and Pensions cost of living payments will hit banks.
He provided clarification on who will receive money from the DWP and what to do if you have not yet received money you're owed. From Cost of Living Payments to energy discounts, there is a wide range of support being offered over the coming months for those who are most vulnerable.
However, some people are still confused over what they are getting and when and even if they will get any help from the government at all. Speaking on ITV's Money Show Live earlier in the week, the Money Saving Expert helped to make everything a little bit clearer.

He said: "You've got the second automatic payment for people on benefits which is £324 when...for most people it will be paid between November 8 and 23. Only people who are on working tax credit or child tax credit, and don't get any other benefits, may get it a bit later.
"To be eligible for this, you have to have been claiming one of the eligible benefits between August 26 and September 25 and you're due it even if you didn't get the first payment." He added: "There is also the £15 Warm Home Discount for many people due to be paid soon which is for those on means-tested benefits."
Meanwhile, some people have been asking the consumer expert what they should do if they haven't yet received payments that are due to them. One lady asked: "I haven't received my £150 disability payment. I've even had a letter from the DWP stating I am entitled to it. What can I do?"
In response, Mr Lewis explained that this is a common complaint he's been seeing on social media. He stated that he asked the DWP and had finally received an answer.
Mr Lewis stated that the DWP told him that "most people in that circumstance will be because their payment has bounced and they will be trying to repay it but if you're not getting it and you think you are entitled to it, do check the eligibility criteria. There is a form on GOV.UK that people can fill in to make sure that they're going to get it."
