The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is facing criticism and pressure over various issues related to benefit payments. There are demands for claimants to prove eligibility, warnings for millions to check their bank accounts by a certain deadline, and growing pressure for more cost of living payments. The DWP is also set to issue a statement regarding these concerns. Additionally, there are updates on cold weather payments, with some individuals potentially owed £25, £50, or £75. The DWP is under scrutiny for errors that have led to thousands missing out on payments, with some claimants possibly owed up to £2,000. Furthermore, changes are expected for people claiming Employment and Support Allowance, and reviews of Personal Independence Payment claims have been intensified. Some individuals will be exempt from payment increases, and there are postcode-specific triggers for cold weather payments in certain areas.
