You should get the money by the end of July, if eligible, although the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned of possible delays.
You may not get the top-up payment on the day you usually get your benefits.
Those who claim Tax Credits - so Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit - are expected to get their £650 cost of living payment slightly later.
What benefits are eligible for the £650 payment?
The £650 payment is only being awarded to those who claim means-tested benefits - so where your income and savings are taken into account.
This includes:
Child Tax Credit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
Pension Credit
Universal Credit
