Over 14million means-tested cost of living payments were made last year, potentially coming to £650 per person
The Department for Work and Pensions recently confirmed that more than 14million means-tested cost of living payments were made last year, potentially coming to £650 per recipient. This was made up of 7.2million for the first payment worth £326 and 7.3million for the second, worth £324.
However, payments may have been delayed for some eligible claimants if there was an issue with the paying-in account or if a claim is still being processed, or is under review. People can no longer report a missing £326 or £324 payment online and should instead contact the office that deals with their benefit.
Cost of living payments you can report as missing If you were expecting one of the following payments but have not received it, you can report it as missing: It also warns: “Do not report the same missing payment more than once. We will reply to you as soon as we can”. Report a missing payment or find contact details on GOV.UK here.
