The money comes from a £37 billion cost-of-living support program for the entire UK.
Funds to recipients of specific means-tested benefits are scheduled to be given between October 31 and November 19.
The first installment of £301 came in bank accounts this past spring, and this payment is the 2nd of three scheduled for 2023–2024.
In the spring of 2024, the £299 3rd installment is due.
Additional payments are often made to assist with living expenses.
Participants will receive direct payment into their bank accounts if they qualify, and scammers are being alerted to the possibility that they may try to deceive victims into providing personal information.
The first cost-of-living benefits were implemented in 2022 when food and energy prices in households started to rise to all-time highs.
