Hi Everyone
Hope you can help, can you advise what payments pensioners will receive this year regarding WFP and also what is the pensioner cost of living payment? and criteria to receive it and amount please?, getting a bit confused reading the internet, this is for my husband who is 73, not on any means tested benefits just State Pension and PIP enhanced.
Appreciate all of your help.

Hi newcastle1949
On 20 September the Government announced that millions of UK households will shortly get a Cost of Living Payment of £300. The payment will be made to eligible customers between 31 October and 19 November.
This is the second of three payments over the financial year totalling up to £900. Eligible pensioner households will also receive a further £300 payment later this year as an addition to the Winter Fuel payment.
Eligible tax credits-only customers who do not qualify for a payment from DWP will receive £300 from HMRC between 10 and 19 November.
Customers will receive the payments automatically. They do not need to contact DWP or do anything to receive the payment.
From 20 November, people who have become retrospectively entitled, or think they should have had a Cost of Living Payment but have not received one can report it via GOV.UK. If the person is not able to use the internet or they do not know someone who can help them, they can report a missing payment via their benefit telephony line.
