Here's what you need to know
The UK is just one day away from the next round of cost of living payments. Due to start landing in the bank accounts of those households eligible from Tuesday, April 25, millions across the country will start to receive the £301 payment over the next few weeks - payments are expected to land from Tuesday but will run up until Wednesday, May 17.
When was the qualifying period? To be in the running for the support, you need to have been entitled to a payment, or later found to have been entitled, between January 26 and February 25. For those claiming Universal Credit, this counts as the qualifying assessment period. However, you will not be eligible for the cost of living payment if your benefit is reduced to £0 for the qualifying period. This is often referred to as a "nil award".
The cost of living cash will be paid in the same way as your usual benefit payment, so into the same bank account where you get normal payments. The code for HMRC payments is very similar and will show as "HMRC COLS".
