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 will be paid ‘shortly after’ DWP has delivered its payments. Nobody needs to apply for these payments, they will be made automatically if you are eligible and meet the requirements of the qualifying period.
The announcement has been made while those on disability benefits are still receiving their one-0ff cost of living support payment for £150, however, DWP is now advising that anyone who thinks they are due the money and have not yet received it, can report it missing on the GOV.UK website here.
