    Are you asking about the cost of living payment? If so then if you were entitled to a UC payment for an assessment period that ended between 26th April and 25th May then you will be entitled to the first payment of £326.
    Your rent is being paid straight to your landlord this will not affect your entitlement to this payment.

    By "rent payment overpayment" do you mean a deduction to your UC to pay back an overpayment of housing?

    Does UC pay your landlord directly for your rent? If so then this won’t affect your entitlement to the first cost of living payment.

    Welcome to the community @deeferguson1911 :) Thank you for joining!

    I hope that the others have been able to clear that up for you a little. It can all feel a bit confusing, can't it? 

    How do you feel you're coping with the rising cost of living?
