The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that it processed 1.6 million cost of living payments worth a total of £518 million on November 8 to those on qualifying means-tested benefits. An estimated eight million payments for £324 are expected to be made before the payment window closes on November 23.
DWP estimates that by the end of November over 90% of recipients of the second payment will also have received the first payment of £326. Nobody needs to apply for the second cost of living payment as it will be made automatically to eligible claimants and people claiming Tax Credits will receive the payment from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) between November 23 and 30.
However, DWP has updated guidance on GOV.UK to clarify a specific group of means-tested benefit claimants - workers claiming Universal Credit - who may not be eligible for the £324 payment this month.
DWP explained: “You will not be eligible for the Cost of Living Payment if your Universal Credit is reduced to £0 for the qualifying assessment period. This is sometimes called a ‘nil award’.
“Reasons your Universal Credit may be reduced to £0 for an assessment period include getting more than one payment of earnings, your or your partner’s earnings go up, your or your partner’s savings go up, you start getting another benefit.
“If money has also been taken off for other reasons (such as payments of rent to your landlord or for money that you owe), you might still be eligible.”
You will be eligible for the £324 cost of living payment if you were entitled to a payment (or later found to be entitled to a payment) of Universal Credit for an assessment period that ended in the period August 26 2022 to September 25 2022.
