Im assuming its per claimant because cost of living applies to more than just energy. Everything is costing more. 

You shouldn't assume anything at this point because it doesn't exactly say that for the £650. It says "household"

If you have a joint claim with a partner, you will get one payment of £650 for both of you, paid in 2 lump sums from July 2022 and in autumn 2022, if eligible.

Thanks. I'm not surprised at all about that because i didn't expect a joint claim to receive £650 each.

The link that was posted was updated and the £650 will be paid to each individual claim. If claiming as a couple then it's one payment per claim, not each. First payment will be made from mid July. Please read the link.
