Cost of living payment

Hi everyone
Having some trouble wrapping my head around the eligibility requirements for the cost of living payment. I had the previous two col payments and haven't received this one yet. My uc was paid into my bank on the 26th of November. Am I eligible for this payment?
Getting a little worried as some friends/family have received it and I'm still waiting. I know it can be anytime until the 22nd but I've had it quite quickly the past two times. The only text I received said 'The £300 Cost of Living Payment will be paid automatically from 31 October to 19 November. For more information search online for DWP Cost of Living Payment.' which is obviously the wrong dates. Hopefully it comes after the weekend if I'm eligible!

That’s the old payment that had been made already. The current one this month is the £299 one

These are the payment dates. So you should have got that £300 one back in. October/november.

I doubt I am entitled if not recieved it.im not actually claiming any longer so

If you got a uc payment in the timeframe that entitled you to it and they haven’t paid defiantly report it as missed.
