Millions of people around the UK who rely on benefits will receive £324
The government has confirmed that the second half of the cost of living payments will be paid from November 8.
Millions of people around the UK who rely on benefits will receive £324, the second half of the £650 total that is being paid to those who receive Universal Credit, Income Support, Child Tax Credit as well as a few other benefits, reportsWhen the first payment was made in July this year, the Department for Work and Pensions explained that they have been staggered because of the large amount of people who are eligible.
"We understand that people are struggling which is why and we’re committed to supporting the most vulnerable households. That’s also why we are focused on driving growth and delivering quality public services so we can continue to support those in need through these challenging times while boosting opportunity for all.
"Without our intervention, analysts were predicting that the average annual energy bill could have reached £6,500 next year. We were never going to let this happen." A small minority of people in complex circumstances may be paid automatically after November 23, people with backdated entitlement after previously being deemed unable to claim benefits for example. The DWP is seeking to contact these claimants directly.
