The DWP has confirmed the latest date for when the second cost of living payment will drop into bank accounts.
Over eight million households in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland who claimed qualifying means-tested benefits during the eligibility period will be automatically paid £324 this month.
DWP claimants will receive their second Cost of Living payment by November 23 2022, and eligible tax credit claimants, on no other means-tested benefits, will receive it between November 23 and 30 2022.
