Hi, so I’ve seen a lot recently about the cost of living payments and eligibility etc just to clarify can someone tell me, I’m currently claiming UC and pip, does that mean I will miss the 2 payments of 324 cost of living payments? And just receive the 150 in September? I’ve heard some people say we don’t get the 2 payments but I’ve heard some people say we do? Thanks.

    No one can help you because you've not told us what benefits exactly you're claiming.
