Payments will change for Universal Credit claimants in July

Universal Credit claimants will receive different payments in July 2022.

They are due to have extra cash hit their bank accounts as the first instalment of a one-off £650 cost of living payment will be paid. It is being split into two payments - but exactly when you'll get it depends on the type of benefits you claim.

The first instalment of £326 will start to hit Universal Credit claimants' bank accounts from July 14. The second payment of £324 is then expected to be sent to eligible households in the autumn, if you claim Universal Credit, reports The Mirror.
