Payments of £300 will be made to around eight million people between October 31 and November 19.
The Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs recently announced the payment dates and qualifying periods for the second part of the £900 cost of living cash support. More than eight million households across Scotland, England and Wales are expected to receive a £300 payment between October 31 and November 19, 2023.
Those on DWP benefits other than Universal Credit who are entitled to less than 10 pence and meet all other qualifying criteria but who do not receive a benefit payment, will still receive a Cost of Living Payment. For joint Tax Credits claimants, where one claimant receives Working Tax Credit and the other claimant receives Child Tax Credit, payments will be made into the same bank account as the Child Tax Credit.
People can check their eligibility for Pension Credit using the online calculator on GOV.UK here or by calling the Pension Credit helpline on 0800 99 1234. We also have a handy guide to the benefit here.
