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.

@poppy123456 thought I would just let you know encase it helps others. Last night I got t text saying the 2nd col payment will be paid between the 8-11 this month. Never had a text for the first one. 

It's being paid between 8th and 23rd of this month and not 8th to 11th, just incase you panic if you don't receive it by the 11th.

Perhaps if they are sending texts this time they will be giving narrower payment windows to each recipient.

I didn’t actually think of that. That would make sense and will hopefully stop those constant threads of people wondering when they will receive it.

Sorry. I thought I was just being helpful before folk started to ask again. 
Those were the dates on my text from them. 
 I will say no more. 🤐

Of course you were helpful! I’m sorry I made you think otherwise. 

For all the other payments they haven’t sent texts like this and I didn’t think like Calcotti did and they maybe sending texts with a shorter payment date now, which is a very good thing. 

In my other comment to you I didn’t want you to start to worry if you didn’t receive within that timeframe.

I got the text for 1st payment a week after I got the money. I never got one for PIP COL but my BF did again nearly a week later. I just think they random texts they send out. Lots of people claiming they got payments with Santander and Mondo tonight, that also didn't get a text message. I wouldn't rely on it other than as admission of being eligible for the payment. My sister got a text last tuesday regarding the 2nd payment.  DWP doesn't always have up to date contact numbers either, I change my number constantly, it wouldn't be a guaranteed way of telling people.

I've had the same mobile number for many years and DWP do have that number. I didn't receive a text for any of the payments. It doesn't bother me at all, i'll receive it when i receive it.
