More than 7.2 million households will receive the payment automatically from the DWP
Millions of households are set to receive a £301 cost of living payment from next week as part of the UK Government’s £900 support package for those on means-tested benefits. The Department for Work and Pensions will make payments to some 7.2million households across Great Britain, including 686,000 in Scotland, between April 25 and May 17, 2023.
Breakdown of £301 payments by benefit Qualifying benefits The £301 payment will be made to eligible households receiving the following benefits: Universal Credit ‘nil awards’ You will not be eligible for the £301 payment if your Universal Credit is reduced to £0 for the qualifying assessment period - often referred to as a ‘nil award’.
Pension Credit and other income-related benefits Guidance on GOV.UK explains that people on Income-based JSA, income-based ESA, Income Support and Pension Credit will be due the £301 payment if they were entitled to a payment - or later found to be entitled to a payment - of those benefits for “any day in the period 26 January 2023 to 25 February 2023”.
This is because Pension Credit is a retrospective benefit that can be backdated by up to three months, taking it to within the qualifying period .
