OVER 750,000 Brits have received a text from HMRC notifying them of the cost of living payment.<\/p>\n
Those on tax credits and no other low income benefit should have received the message on Friday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It told them their \u00a3300 cost of living payment will be paid out automatically between November 10 and 19.<\/p>\n
Friday's text is just a notification and no money is due to be paid out just yet.<\/p>\n
But eligible customers are being warned of scams simulating the text.<\/p>\n
HMRC will never ask for any personal or financial details in the message and you never have to reply to them.<\/p>\n
If you are asked to, it could be a scam.<\/p>\n If you are a tax credits customer but haven\u2019t received the text message, check your mobile number is up to date with HMRC.<\/p>\n You can do this online by searching for \u2018HMRC services\u2019 on GOV.UK.<\/p>\n Those on Universal Credit, JSA, ESA, Income Support and Pension Credit are currently receiving their \u00a3300.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Payments for those claimants began on October 31 and will continue until November 19.<\/p>\n Some Brits could receive up to five payments to help with the cost of living if you\u2019re getting certain benefits or tax credits.<\/p>\n The next payment, \u00a3299, will be paid out to most eligible customers next spring.<\/p>\n Receiving the SMS, or a previous cost of living payment, doesn\u2019t guarantee a customer will be eligible for this or future payments.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re getting both Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit, you will receive a cost of living Payment for Child Tax Credit only.<\/p>\n This is paid by HMRC.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re getting tax credits from HMRC and a low income benefit from DWP, you cannot get a Cost of Living Payment from both HMRC and DWP. <\/p>\n You will usually be paid by DWP only.<\/p>\n<\/picture>ALL CHANGE <\/span><\/p>\n
