On 13 December, the Government announced that millions of UK households will shortly get a Cost of Living Payment of £299. This payment will be made to eligible claimants on means tested benefits between Tuesday 6 February and Thursday 22 February.
This is the third of three payments over the financial year totalling up to £900.
Customers will receive the payments automatically. They do not need to contact DWP or do anything to receive the payment.
If a household becomes retrospectively entitled to a Cost of Living Payment or someone believes they are entitled but do not receive one, they can report this on GOV.UK from the 23 February.

We have produced a Cost Of Living Payment video, which can be shared on your social channels.
