The final cost of living payments will be sent out to people who qualify over the next week.
The third and final payment of £299, for 2023/24, started to be paid to people from February 6.
There are some people who qualify but they have not been included in the first tranche of payouts, earlier this month.
Those are people who receive tax credits but not any of the other qualifying benefits.
They will start to see the payment within the next few days.
The payments also of £299 for tax credit recipients only, will be made to bank accounts between 16 and 22 February 2024.
To get the third 2023-24 payment of £299 from HMRC, people must have received a payment of tax credits for any day between November 13 and December 12, 2023.
The UK Government states: “Payment will be sent out automatically and recipients do not need to apply to receive it. This includes tax credits-only customers who will receive the payment from HMRC between 16 and 22 February.
