Hey guys just outta interest have any of you received the cost of living payment yet? I am with monzo so I usually see it coming through a day or so before it’s due…but so far I see nothing and I really need it badly (I am sure some of u feel the same way) 
I am just curious …. So thanks in advance

    Got mine this morning too.  Came right next to the usual ESA payment although that may have been a coincidence.

    Sorry I have one  more question for u guys that have received their payment, did u get it directly into your bank or is it a bacs payment and becomes available in three working days? Any answers are hugely appreciated

    If it’s paid into your bank then the funds are there ready to use. Payments will be by BACS as most payments are. 

    My bank doesn’t show pending payments.

    As advised on your other 2 threads. A new bank card won't affect your benefits payments. For the cost of living payment of £301 it can go into your bank anytime up until 17th May.

    Today is only day 2 and there's nothing to worry about. There's many others that haven't received it yet.
