    If you mean will there be a 2nd COL payment for those claiming disability benefits only then no, there's only one payment of £150.

    Welcome to the community @Northfleet70 :) 

    I hope that poppy123456's comment has helped to clear that up for you! 

    Do you mind me asking which cost of living payments you've received so far?

    Hi 

    I did not qualify for the £150 as my PIP didn’t start until June I got the first £326 with my partner but I’ve separated now haven’t had any other help I get PiP enhanced ESA support group contribution and LWCRA



    Thanjs

    I thought i remembered you but when i looked at your profile it said you had only recently joined so i must have been thinking of someone else with a similar username.
    LCWRA is part of UC so if you had a payment for an assessment period that ended between 26th Aug and 25th Sept then you'll be entitled to the £324. Which can be paid anytime up until 23rd Nov.
