    You only get one payment of £326 on the joint claim, not one each.
    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment
    Low income benefits and tax credits
    You may get a payment of £650 paid in 2 lump sums of £326 and £324 ..
    If you have a joint claim with a partner, you will get one payment of £326 and one payment of £324 for your joint claim, if you’re entitled.

    I Never received the cost of living payment either for some reason.. There was one payment of £326 that went into my mothers account but we are both entitled ?

    What benefit are you claiming?
