The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that over 8 million households are set to receive the second part of the £650 cost of living payment by November 23. Payments for £324 will land in bank accounts between November 8 and 23, for most eligible claimants.
This payment is for those receiving DWP means-tested benefit s. People claiming Tax Credits only will receive their second payment ‘from Winter 2022’ from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), but no specific payment date has been announced yet.
Over 8 million families have already received the first Cost of Living Payment, worth £326, which was sent out from July 14 this year. The second payment will automatically be paid into the bank accounts of those eligible in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland who receive a qualifying benefit, meaning they will not need to do anything to receive the money.
