    Hello @fordfocus06 and welcome, thanks for your query.

    You will not get a payment if you get New Style Employment and Support Allowance, contributory Employment and Support Allowance, or New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance, unless you get Universal Credit.

    If you do get Universal Credit, did you have an assessment period which finished between 26 April 2022 to 25 May 2022? 

    If so, you will be entitled to the first half of the Cost of Living payment anytime between 14th and 31st July. The second half of the payment is due in the autumn.

    I hope that helps, but please let me know if you're still unsure about anything :)

    Alex
