It will be paid automatically
Some struggling families will be eligible for a one-off cost of living payment of £900. The cash will be sent to people on means-tested benefits over this year and next as families continue to struggle with household bills amid high inflation and rising prices.
When will the £300 cost of living payment be made? Those waiting for their second installment may have a few months to wait. The first installment was paid to the majority of eligible people between July 14 and 31, while the second payment was made between November 8 and 23. That means the two installments were paid roughly four months apart.
When will exact payment dates be announced? The DWP is expected to announce the exact payment dates ahead of time. Last year, the dates were announced around a month beforehand. What other cost of living payments are coming up? The £900 cost of living payment is one of three cost of living payments provided by the government this year. People on disability benefits are eligible for a £150 payment, while pensioners will also be eligible for a payment of up to £300. That means the total amount of support that one person may be able to get over this year and next is £1,050.
