If you're eligible have you had your first cost of living payment?

Hi all. We receive Child Tax Credit and DLA for my 12 year old old son, so presume we will qualify for the cost of living payments bit so far haven't had anything in the bank. Given that it's now the last weekend of the month and people were told it would be paid by the end of July, has everyone had their payments. Was thinking of calling the helpline bit imagine the number of people on hold will be horrendous. Thanks

He we are in a similar position - payments for those on Tax Credits and DLA won't be made until September/Autumn & Winter

People on tax credits wont get it until the autumn. This has been well publicized.

It's autumn & winter for tax credits, not sure how that interacts with DLA.

Ahh didn't know that, thanks for the info everyone. Saves me wasting forever on hold.
