The qualifying period for the first part of the £900 means-tested payment has also been announced
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that the payment window for the first part of the £900 means-tested cost of living support will open next month. More than eight million households across Great Britain, including 686,000 in Scotland, will receive £301 directly into their bank account from the DWP between Tuesday, April 25 and Wednesday, May 17.
This payment will be tax-free, will not count towards the benefit cap, and will not have any impact on existing benefit awards. £301 for people on Tax Credits Those who are eligible for the £301 cost of living payment solely through Tax Credits, and are not eligible through DWP means-tested benefits, will be paid by HM Revenue and Customs shortly after DWP payments begin on April 25.
This is because Pension Credit is a retrospective benefit that can be backdated by up to three months, taking it to within the qualifying period.
