The UK government issued the second £300 Cost of Living Payment for 2024 between October 31 and November 19, 2024. Despite the successful distribution to 99% of claimants, some individuals have yet to receive their payments. If you believe you are eligible but haven’t received your payment, you can file a report for a missing Cost of Living Payment.
