The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently confirmed that some 7.3 million payments of £324 have now been made to low-income families across the country as part of the UK Government’s £37 billion cost of living support package.
The latest figures from DWP show that £2.3 billion has been paid out to over 99% of all eligible claimants across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland since the rollout began on November 8. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) started making payments to over one million people in receipt of Tax Credits-only on Wednesday, November 23 and will continue to do so until November 30.
However, for those still waiting on the second wave of support, DWP has updated its dedic ated Cost of Living page on GOV.UK to allow people on Universal Credit, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support or Pension Credit to report a missing £324 payment.
People on Tax Credits-only, are receiving the £324 payment directly from HMRC and are asked to wait until December 7 before contacting the department to report the money missing.
DWP said earlier this month that the “vast majority” of eligible households will receive their payments by the end of November.
However, Mims Davies MP, warned: “A small proportion of automated payments may fail, for example, if the customer has closed their account, but there are robust processes in place to ensure that all eligible claimants will receive their payments, with manual workarounds in place if necessary.
“If someone in receipt of a qualifying benefit believes they should have received a Cost of Living Payment but has not received it, it can be reported to DWP.”
