It is believed that many missed out because two paydays fell in the 30-day qualifying period
More than half a million struggling Brits were denied a £326 summer cost-of-living payment to help with rocketing bills. Boris Johnson offered the fund - the first half of a total £650 - to more than 8 million people on benefits in July to show them “we are on their side”.
The Department for Work and Pensions refused critics’ pleas to ditch this “outrageous” policy - instead saying anyone who had a “nil award” can appeal, and get the £326 retrospectively. This can also happen if two pay checks fall in one 30-day period, or if they are hit with the harshest benefit sanctions for “failing” to look for work. Anyone who received a ‘nil award’ between April 26 and May 25 was denied the £326 cost of living payment.
