    Hi @sammysung, first of all welcome to the community :) hope we can help clear these things up for you.

    These payments will be given to anyone on UC (as well as many other means-tested benefits) who meets the following: 
    • You will need to have been entitled to a payment for one of these benefits between 18 August and 17 September, or payment for an assessment period ending between these dates
    If you have any other questions about Universal Credit we have a category here Universal Credit (UC) — Scope | Disability forum. To start a new discussion to ask your question/for advice just click on the big plus sign at the bottom of your screen if on a mobile, or on the "+ New Post" button on the right-hand side if on a computer.

    There isn’t another disability cost of living payment. The only one was in June/July. 

    For the £300 one between now and 19th November you must have been claiming certain means tested benefits during the qualifying period. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment#low-income-benefits-and-tax-credits-cost-of-living-payment-eligibility
