DWP issues urgent warning to everyone due £326 cost of living payment before end of month
15.07.2022 - 12:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an urgent warning to millions of people due to receive the first instalment of the £650 means-tested cost of living payment this month. Payments for £326 started landing in bank accounts on July 14 and will continue until the end of the month.
Some 8 millions people on qualifying benefits - Universal Credit, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support, Pension Credit, Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit - will receive the cash boost. The qualifying period for these seven benefits was between April 26, 2022 and May 25, 2022.
However, in an update to the official cost of living guidance on the GOV.UK website, the DWP is warning people not to be duped by crooks who may try and trick them into applying for the £326 payment - something nobody needs to do because it is an automatic payment sent to those eligible.
The DWP guidance states: “You may be able to get a payment to help with the cost of living if you’re getting certain benefits or Tax Credits.
“You do not need to apply. You’ll be paid automatically.
“If you have had a message asking you to apply or contact someone about the payment, this might be a scam.”
If you do receive a text message asking you to apply for any of the cost of living payments, DWP advises that you forward it to 7726 - which is completely free to do and simply reports the message to your mobile phone provider.
DWP also added clarification about cost of living payments for joint claims.
It said: “If you have a joint claim with a partner, you will get one payment of £326 and one payment of £324 for your joint claim, if you’re entitled.
“If you had a joint claim between 26 April and 25
