First day of roll outs today. What area do you live in and have you received it yet?

I didn’t have to wait this long last time so I’m getting worried

Mammaitalian · 03/11/2023 08:36

Did you receive a text prior?

Listen2YourMother · 03/11/2023 08:47

I’ve had a text saying I’ll get it between 31-19 November but nothing so far I’m on UC

I received the text too. Not received mine yet either, UC

Mammaitalian · 03/11/2023 09:07

Fair enough, I ain’t received a text i did last April but nothing has changed to my claim and I’m on UC too x

Lm2519 · 03/11/2023 09:07

I’ve read that it’s Tax Credits claimants that are to be paid it 10th-19th November so presuming it will be before the 10th

From MSE website, knew I'd seen it somewhere:

Don't know why tax credits people get a more specific time window than everyone else!

JanglyBeads · 03/11/2023 10:12

So no, @Lm2519, it'll be between10th and the 19th

Lm2519 · 03/11/2023 10:48

@JanglyBeads I receive UC but I was presuming it would be before the 10th if Tax Credits are 10-19th but I could be wrong

Lm2519 · 03/11/2023 10:51

@JanglyBeads sorry just seen your other post! The 18th and 19th are a weekend so I’m guessing no payments will be made then?

Mammaitalian · 03/11/2023 11:02

My assessment period was between 14 August to 13 September so I qualify? So confusing 😅

JanglyBeads · 03/11/2023 11:09

Qualifying dates for this autumn's payments

JanglyBeads · 03/11/2023 11:10

Oops

Photo problems. Here we are from Martin Lewis

Key qualifying dates to get the new payment
To get the £300, you need to have been paid (or have been eligible for a payment of) one of the benefits listed above (also detailed below) on any day between 18 August 2023 and 17 September 2023.
This means that you may qualify for this payment even if you didn't receive last year's £650 cost of living paymentt_ or this year's first cost of living payment.

Firsttimemum120 · 03/11/2023 12:19

I got mine yesterday

Mammaitalian · 03/11/2023 14:29

So I should qualify then I get
paid every 20th of the month.

Lm2519 · 03/11/2023 15:08

@Mammaitalian yes as long as you received a payment on 20th August

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 03/11/2023 15:32

Did you get a text saying you are getting it?

I had a text so knew it was coming at some point.

Listen2YourMother · 03/11/2023 16:04

@itsgettingweird yep, had a text saying I’d get it between 31st-19th November but never had to wait this long before
