The cost of living is increasing with many people cutting back on what they spend in a bid to save as much money as possible.
In order to help ease any financial pressure, nearly a quarter of households across Scotland received £326 in their bank accounts.
The payment is the first instalment of the £650 sum delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help families struggling with rising energy bills. The second £324 instalment will be paid in the autumn.
