New DWP eligibility rules for people on means-tested benefits due £301 cost of living payment
The Department for Work and Pensions recently announced that more than eight million families will receive the £301 cost of living payment between April 25 and May 17, 2023. It is the first part of the £900 means-tested cost of living cash from the UK Government’s 2023/24 financial support package, which is worth £37billion in total.
Regarding these benefits specifically, guidance from DWP states: “You are also eligible if you are entitled to one of these benefits for any day during this period but you do not receive a benefit payment because your entitlement is between 1 penny and 9 pence.” HMRC will publish specific details of when payments will be made to these claimants along with the bank account payment reference.
However, if money has 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.
