mazzatazza

I had a txt saying I've been awarded pip.im on UC do I still receive cost of living payment?

Yes, because you are on UC.
You will also get a payment of £150 in September because you are on PIP.

Universal Credit

To get the first Cost of Living Payment of £326, you must have been entitled to a payment (or later found to be entitled to a payment) of Universal Credit for an assessment period that ended in the period 26 April 2022 to 25 May 2022.

For PIP It will depend when you started your claim. If it was 25th May or earlier then you will receive the £150 in Septemeber.

Must admit I assumed that as a decision has been made the PIP was claimed before 25th May but obviously that might not be true.

Although they are your ex if you're claiming UC as a couple then you'll be entitled to 1 payment between you. If you're claiming as single people then 1 payment each, if you were entitled to a payment of UC with an assessment period ending within the dates above.

As they are getting UC they will get the CoL payment.

Yes. You should receive it by 31st July.
You will also get £150 in September because you are on PIP.

@poppy123456 Hi Poppy I was just wondering about the cost of living payment of £150.
I believe the cut off was 25th May, to receive the payment in September.
I applied for PIP on the 24th June. If I am successful will I get this payment at a later date

No, because the start of your claim is after 25th May

Unfortunately, because you applied for PIP after 25th May, even if successfully awarded PIP you will not be entitled to the £150. There's only 1 payment of £150.

Thankyou @poppy123456 @calcotti that's a shame x
