The Department of Work and Pensions has updated people who are eligible for cost of living payments, specifically those on tax credits. A £324 payment will be the second instalment of the £650 being given to people on means-tested benefits.
Most claimants eligible for the money received the first instalment of £326 in July and are scheduled to receive the second instalment between November 8-23. However, those eligible for the cost of living payment through claiming tax credits have had longer to wait, Leicestershire Live reports.
According to the DWP, most people eligible for the £650 cost of living payment tax credits received the first instalment between September 2-7. Previously, the DWP said that tax credit claimants would get the second instalment in the winter.
