The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) delivered cost of living payments worth more than £2 billion to 6.4 million eligible claimants over four days last week. More than eight million payments of £324 are expected to be made before the end of November to those on benefits delivered by DWP and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Payments for the second round of cost of living support started on November 8 to those on qualifying means-tested benefits including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support and income-related Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment Support Allowance. No payments were made over the weekend, but are set to resume today (November 14) and will continue until November 23.
People in receipt of Tax Credits along with another means-tested benefit are also receiving the financial support during this payment window. However, those only claiming Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits and no other qualifying benefit from DWP, will receive the payment directly from HMRC between November 23 and 30.
DWP has previously said it is staggering payments - in no particular order - due to the sheer volume of transactions being processed.
However, it’s important to be aware that DWP has warned that “a small proportion of automated payments may fail”.
This may be due to the wrong bank or building society account details being held on file by DWP or HMRC, or if the account has been closed.
DWP and HMRC have reassured claimants that they have “robust processes in place to ensure that all eligible claimants will receive their payments, with manual workarounds in place if necessary”.
If you are expecting a payment from DWP and it does not arrive today, just remember that the money is being paid until November 23.
