ONE million more people will start receiving a \u00a3300 one-off cost of living payment this week.<\/p>\n
Households on certain\u00a0benefits, including\u00a0Universal Credit, have already started receiving the cash.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But households on\u00a0tax\u00a0credits won't begin to receive the payment until November 10.<\/p>\n
Instead, it will be paid by\u00a0HMRC\u00a0instead of the DWP between November 10 and 19.<\/p>\n
This ensures that those on other benefits and tax credits will not get the payment twice.<\/p>\n
Those eligible for the\u00a0tax-free payment\u00a0don't have to do anything as it will be made automatically into the claimant's bank accounts.<\/p>\n
The payment reference for bank accounts will be the recipient's\u00a0National Insurance\u00a0number followed by HMRC COL.<\/p>\n Here's\u00a0everything you need to know about the cost of living cash.<\/p>\n The full list of benefits that qualify people for the payment is:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n You need to have been entitled to a payment for any of the qualifying\u00a0benefits\u00a0above between August 18 and September 17 to be eligible for the free cash.<\/p>\n If you were later found to be entitled to any of the above\u00a0benefits\u00a0between the same dates you will also be eligible for the payment too.<\/p>\n The payment reference for bank accounts will be the recipient\u2019s\u00a0National Insurance\u00a0number followed by\u00a0DWP\u00a0COL or HMRC COLS.<\/p>\n The \u00a3300 payment is the second of three payments that form the \u00a3900 support.<\/p>\n The first instalment worth \u00a3301 was paid out to over eight million households in April and May.<\/p>\n The final \u00a3299 cost of living payment will be made in the spring of 2024.<\/p>\n It follows the \u00a3650 cost of living payment made to over eight million people in 2022.<\/p>\n Households that apply for some benefits can have their payments backdated depending on their circumstances.<\/p>\n For example, over 1.4million pensioners receive\u00a0pension\u00a0credit\u00a0which makes them eligible for the\u00a0\u00a3300 cost of living payment.<\/p>\n But there are\u00a0850,000 more pensioners eligible\u00a0for the benefit who aren't claiming it.<\/p>\n This means that they risk missing out on the\u00a0next\u00a0two\u00a0cost of living\u00a0payments worth \u00a3300 in the\u00a0autumn\u00a0and \u00a3299 in the\u00a0spring\u00a0of 2024.<\/p>\n To get the first payment, you will need to have been in\u00a0receipt of at least one of seven benefits, including\u00a0pension credit, between August 18 and September 17 to be eligible for the free cash.<\/p>\n It doesn't matter if you were only eligible for a day – as long as this day was within the qualifying period you'll get the cost of living payment.<\/p>\n The same rule applies to fresh pension credit\u00a0claims which can be backdated by up to three months.<\/p>\n This means that thousands more people could become eligible for the cash by applying for the benefit now.<\/p>\n The Department for Work and\u00a0Pensions\u00a0(DWP) told\u00a0The Sun\u00a0that households eligible but not claiming pension credit should put in a claim by December 10.<\/p>\n This will ensure that any payments can be backdated and fall within the qualifying period for the \u00a3300 cost of living payment.<\/p>\n If you put in your claim any later than this – the DWP may be unable to process your claim in time.<\/p>\n And if you miss the\u00a0deadline\u00a0your claim won't be backdated all the way back to the qualifying period, so you'll miss out on the cash.<\/p>\n We've previously explained\u00a0how to apply for pension credit.<\/p>\n<\/picture>GOLDEN TICKET <\/span><\/p>\n
