650 payment

leedslad98

Hello, im currently on universal credit and recieve LCWRA also, ive not seen any newspaper or forum mention lcwra yet but will I be classed as universal credit 650 payment or 150 disability, or nothing at all?

 The £150 is for those on non means tested disability benefits ie PIP DLA and Attendance Allowance. Do you get one if them? 

 You will get the £650

Agreed, you will get the £650.

I need some advice, yesterday, Rishi Sunak announced a package due to Cost Of Living - however, he announced that low income families will get a one off payment of £650 (spread over two payments, first in July and the other in the Autumn) to those on Universal Credit and other benefits. All I want to know, I am on Universal Credit and I am currently not working, I am living on my own in a 1 bed flat and I am a single male, will I be entitled to this £650 payment? or is it just families? if it's just families, then that is not fair at all, how is that even fair? what about us single people who live alone? will we get any help?

Thank you in advance for your advice

Ok, I'm only on UC and receive the LCWRA extra too, no other benefit, so the 650 it is then, thanks for clearing that up

Do we know what the important dates are?
IE
if we receive tax credits now but stop receiving them in August will we still get the full £650, will we only get the July payment or will we get nothing?

From the guidance at the moment:

• Claimants will need to be in receipt of one of these benefits, or have begun a claim which is later successful, as of 25th May 2022 to be eligible for the first of the two instalments. HMRC and DWP will provide further guidance, and the government will set out the eligibility date for the second instalment, in due course.

Whether people will need to be in receipt at the time of the July payment may a slightly grey area?  As for the second, we'll have to wait and see.  If your TC end in August, maybe best for now not to bank on receiving the second payment, at least until we know more.
