At least 99% of those eligible for the second instalment of the £650 Cost of Living Payment have received the £324, according to DWP statistics.
Figures released by the DWP today show how many of the payments for households on low-income benefits have been processed.
They show 8.3 million have had their second payment. The DWP said that by November 14, 99% of those "initially eligible" for the £324 winter half of the £650 payment have had theirs processed. There may be some waiting, whose benefit claims are being checked or backdated.
