The government website says:
Households on means tested benefits, including Universal Credit, Pension Credit and Tax Credits, will receive a payment of £650 this year, paid automatically in two instalments.
The first payment of £326 was made in summer. The second payment of £324 will be made by DWP to eligible customers between 8 and 23 November, and by HMRC between 23 and 30 November (to customers receiving tax credits only and no other eligible DWP benefits).
AIUI these are made to the same account as the Universal Credit is paid.
There are reported difficulties where people eligible for Universal Credit but not actually getting a payment in a particular Assessment Period (eg because tapered earnings reduced UC to nil) then they're seen as ineligible for living costs payment.
