The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently confirmed that the payments for the second part of the £650 means-tested cost of living support will be made to more than 8 million households from November 8 to 23. The one-off lump sum is for £324 and will be paid to those on certain DWP benefits only.
People claiming Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits - with no other means-tested benefit - will receive the money between November 23 and 30. Nobody needs to apply for these payments as they will be made automatically if you are eligible and meet the requirements of the qualifying period.
More than six million people claiming disability benefits received a one-off payment for £150 in September, however, DWP has confirmed that some - along with payments for the first cost of living payment of £326 - are outstanding. You can report a missing payment on the GOV.UK website here.
