Just a quick question I’ve just recently last month changed my universal credit claim in to  joint claim with my partner so does that mean we just get one payment now or is it still we get a payment each

    It will depend on when your claim changed.
    You will be eligible for the second Cost of Living Payment of £324 if you were 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 August 2022 to 25 September 2022.

    We was both getting universal credit and it swapped to a joint claim on the 29th of September

    You will only get one UC payment made to one of you. However given the timing i would expect you to both still get a CoL payment.
