Hello

A while ago I read that the UK government would pay some Cost of Living payments at the end of April beginning of May. I haven't seen these payments yet, have you gotten yours? How do I claim them?

Would really like to get this...

Hi @nameless

How are you doing today?

This is a very interesting discussion topic, thank you for getting it started. I just did a quick search and I believe this is what you are referring to. Let me tag a few other members to see if they have any experience with this department and getting payouts.

@Nexabyqu @Elk217015 @Sdianew03 @jayane @Chellechelle @kateheath @Kanaboyo @Mrspotter @flowergirl @Narcisse @waggywoo1 @waggy1 @Luke3341 @nazza91 @Iannoh @Caz1979 @billyjon @Priya1988 @Rach115 @NicolaS @JoLynn @Trish54 @Leicester-City-Fan @LindaMS @Franran3 @niamhobroin2021 @Byojaxs @alexab @Yank34

Do you know about this program? Have you benefitted from it? What steps did you follow?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team
