To be upset at UC nil award meaning I don’t get

[Beasty50]

Cost of living payment

I have a nil award but only because the payment I do get of £400 goes to my landlord direct. But iv just read this means I won’t get the cost of living payment

You will still get it, I've had the same situation previously and still got it.

I have the exact same thing and I still got it last time, because I qualify for some, they just pay my landlord instead of me, then I have to send the money on, it cuts out the middle person.

Nil award is if you dont get anything, not that you personally dont get it

You know its from the assessment period in mid August to mid September?
It’s not clear if you always get a nil award or just have this time.
Disregarding this the payment made direct to your landlord makes you eligible.
