New Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) money will be paid out in a few weeks. It comes as the Government makes cash injections to those suffering most from the cost of living crisis.

People began seeing the first sums of cash find its way into their accounts over the summer. Others however will receive their money this month.

Birmingham Live reports the first payment was sent to families from between July 14 and July 31. The £650 comes in two separate payments. Just over seven million people received £326 in July, though some may have had to wait a little longer if they were involved in a benefits appeal and won entitlement to an eligible benefit a bit later.

The DWP is making the payment to the nation's poorest families

Those on tax credits, a benefit administered by HMRC, had to wait a little longer, with their £326 sum going in between September 2 and 7. So which payments are coming next? Here are the dates and how much is being sent into accounts.

£326 tax credits payment deadline

September 16

Around 1.1million people have received their first instalment of the £650 sum if they are in receipt of Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit. A sum of £326 should have gone into accounts between September 2 and 7. The payment reference will be CL followed by the customer's National Insurance number (of two letters, six numbers, one letter), followed by 0001AX - for example, if the National Insurance number is AB123456C, the payment reference would appear as CLAB123456C0001AX.

HMRC says that if people believe they are eligible but have not received a payment yet, they should wait until September 16 before getting in touch. This is to allow time for their bank, building society, or credit union to process the payment. After that critical date, you can report a missing payment.

£150 disability cost of living payment

September 20

Six million people on health and disability benefits are to get a one-off payment of £150. The qualifying benefits are:

  • Attendance Allowance

  • Constant Attendance Allowance

  • Disability Living Allowance for adults

  • Disability Living Allowance for children

  • Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

  • Adult Disability Payment (in Scotland)

  • Child Disability Payment (in Scotland)

  • Armed Forces Independence Payment

  • War Pension Mobility Supplement

The DWP says the money will go into accounts automatically from Tuesday, September 20, with "the vast majority of those eligible expected to receive their one-off payment by the beginning of October."

£150 council tax rebate deadline

September 18 and September 30

Millions of people living in properties in bands A to D have already received £150 through the council tax database since this scheme started back in April. Those with direct debits set up with their billing authority had the money deposited in the bank accounts where they normally pay their council tax from.

Others have had to register online to get £150 coupons sent out that can be redeemed at the post office. In many cases, the closing date for registering was August 31. Those who didn't apply before that date may still be sent coupons or the money could instead be taken off their council tax bill.

Local authorities have been instructed by the Government to deal with all council tax rebate payments by September 30. So if you've not heard anything by then, the amount is likely to appear as a reduction on your council tax bill.

£324 means-tested benefits cost of living payment

By end of 2022

Low-income families on five means-tested benefits - Universal Credit , income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Income Support and Pension Credit - had the £326 first instalment of the £650 cost of living payment during July, in most cases.

The second instalment is coming by the end of the year. An exact date when it will start to arrive has not yet been announced but DWP guidance says it before 2023.
