From help with energy bills to specific assistance with the cost of living for the disabled and elderly, there has been plenty of Government cash handed out.

However, critics say the assistance is not enough to help households with soaring costs, with inflation running at 10.1%.

This week millions of struggling households started getting their second cost of living payment, worth £324.

It makes up the second instalment of the £650 being given to households who claim certain benefits.

A first instalment worth £326, was paid back in July for most households, with those on tax credits paid in September.

Brits will receive their second instalment of £324 between November 8 and 23.

The tax-free sum will be automatically sent to those who qualify.

The second half of the £650 cost of living payment will go to those receiving the following benefits:

  • Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Income Support
  • Pension Credit
  • Universal Credit

In order to qualify for the £324, you must have been entitled, or later found to be entitled to, any of the listed benefits between August 26 and September 25 this year.

Those on Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit won’t receive their payment until after November 23.

Millions of pensioners will soon start to receive their Winter Fuel Payment worth up to £600.

The cash is being sent out in November and December for most people but you should be paid by January 13, 2023 at the latest.
