Millions of people are set to receive a £324 cost of living payment in the coming weeks to help with soaring living costs. More than eight million households in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland who claimed qualifying means-tested benefits between 26 August to 25 September this year will receive £324 between now and November 23, the second instalment of the government's cost of living package worth £650 announced earlier this year.
It comes after millions of people received £326 back in July. The second payment started on Tuesday, November 8, is being made directly into eligible recipients’ bank accounts, so you don't need to do anything to receive it.
Despite the huge support package, which is estimated to cost millions of pounds, a large number of benefits claimants will miss out on the money as not all are eligible. Here are the people who won't qualify for the money.
