Payments from the DWP will be made from October 31 until November 19.
Millions of people are set to receive a payment of £300 from next week as part of the UK Government’s £900 means-tested cost of living support. The first 2023 payment of £301 was issued between April and May, a second lump sum of £300 will land in accounts between October 31 and November 19, while a third payment of £299 is due to be paid by Spring 2024.
However, it's important for people on DWP benefits to be aware not everyone will qualify for the means-tested cost of living payment. Guidance on GOV.UK states people claiming New Style Employment and Support Allowance , Contributions-based ESA and New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance will not be eligible for the £300 payment because these are not income-related benefits.
