DWP announces date £300 autumn cost of living payments will start landing in bank accounts

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed the dates for when millions of households will receive the next £300 cost of living payment.

From October 31 through to November 19, the second of three cost of living payments will be paid out to those receiving means-tested benefits.

This includes those claiming payments from Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and Tax Credits. Similar to previous cost of living payments, Tax Credit-only customers who receive their payment from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will get the payment slightly later than DWP claimants.

According to the government, payments for this group will start on November 10 and follow the same deadline of November 19.
