Cost of living payment

Whiplashy

I've seen some people say on Facebook that it's one payment per household, but no one seems to be able to back that up with anything. There's 3 of us here that are on qualifying payments. Just wondering if we will receive the one 200 payment? And how does that work? Would it be paid in full to one of us, or would we receive part payment each?

My understanding of this situation is that there will be three costs of living payments if there are three independent fully qualifying payments in the household. If there is only one main payment and two additional payments- like wife as QA and child as dependent- there will be only one cost of living payment.

Your question will be answered shortly when the payment arrives on your account.

That’s my reading of it too. They seem to be using the Christmas bonus model.

Yes- it is the same as the X-mas bonus last year. Whoever got that one will get this one too!

They are using the Christmas Bonus Model and it's being paid as an individual payment so if a household has a person on say Disibility Allowance and another on a CE scheme in the same household, both will get it.
