The Government has confirmed when households claiming certain benefits or tax credits will receive their second cost of living payment worth £324. The money is part of a £1,200 support package, with initial payments of £326 having been made from mid-July.
People eligible for the cash will receive the second part of the £650 payment from November 8, continuing through to November 23, the Department for Work and Pensions has said. The DWP says more than eight million families have already received their £326.
The second payment will automatically be paid into the bank accounts of those eligible in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who receive a qualifying benefit, meaning they will not need to do anything to receive the money. Work and Pensions Secretary Chloe Smith said: "Millions of families will soon see a £324 cash boost as part of our extensive £1,200 support package, helping to raise incomes and manage the rising cost of living.
