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.
New list of cost of living payment dates for DWP and HMRC claimants due money before Christmas

Cost of living payments will provide a much-needed boost to millions of households across the UK between November and Christmas to help off-set soaring energy bills, the impact of rising inflation and ever-increasing food prices. Inflation rose to 10.1% for September, driven by food prices which leapt up by 14.5%.
It is unknown yet whether benefits will increase next April in-line with inflation and following Liz Truss’ resignation as Prime Minister on Thursday, it is unclear whether her commitment to the State Pension Triple Lock rule will ensure 12.5 million older people across the country get a much-needed income boost next year. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is expected to make that announcement during his Budget statement on Monday, October, 31.
In the meantime, there are three sets of cost of living payments on the way. The £2,500 Energy Price Guarantee is in place until April and the monthly discounts of £66/£67 from the £400 energy rebate scheme will continue until the end of March.
Before the colder weather sets in, now is the perfect time to plan your winter budget. A lot of families are skipping Christmas this year to take the pressure off household finances and many people are trying to hold off as long as possible before putting the heating on.
You could get up to two different types of payment depending on your circumstances on a certain date or during a particular period.
Some people may be eligible for both payments, bringing a total of up to £924
For example, a person of State Pension age, claiming Pension Credit who qualifies for Winter Fuel Payment, would be eligible for the second means-tested payment of £324 and up to £600 for the Pensioner Cost of Living Payment and Winter Fuel Payment combined lump sum.
