Haven't seen this mentioned on the forums, but ain't the thirst installment due today because Monday is a Bank Holiday? I have not received anything?
Anyone else?

"£300 paid during autumn 2023".

That'll be September or October.

Nothing has been announced yet but it's very unlikely to be September because we are almost there now. Last years Autumn payment of £324 was paid until between 8th and 23rd November 2022.

My thinking is that the last one was end of April/ start of May for most people, so 6 months would be end of Oct/ start of Nov.

There again they like to mix things up so nobody can predict the qualifying dates.

There's also a question of if they want to pay the spring 2024 one before the benefit rate changes in April? If so then they might do 5 months gap(s) instead of 6.

In the end its all guessing until they announce it.
