     Govt. would, imo, have been better saying everyone should receive their payment by 07/08/22 which would mean only those who had not received their payment by 31/07/22 would be contacting them. 
    Even then, there would still be people asking why haven't they received their payment yet.

    To get the first Cost of Living Payment of £326, you must have been 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 April 2022 to 25 May 2022.
    Working makes no difference unless your payment for this assessment period was reduced to zero because of earnings.

    That’s not a nil award. You still had a payment but it was paid directly to your landlord. You will receive the first payment of £324.

    My sister and cousin had theirs yesterday. Unfortunately I’m not eligible but they said as soon as it came in they overpaid on their energy bill to try and mitigate the rises as much as possible. I’ll be doing that with my PIP bonus although £150 won’t even touch the sides. I feel so sorry for people who will have to use it for food etc, it’s going to be a really hard winter for many.
