This hasn’t really been reinstated has it.. because previously,apart from last year, my H and I both received a payment…and now it’s a single payment for couples.. so we used to receive £200 each and now it’s £200 between us

As I said upthread everyone of SP age will receive the payment unless you have opted out.
Those with incomes over £35,000 will then receive a new tax coding to retrieve the whole sum.
However if I understand correctly , in the case of a couple if one’s income is less than that threshold he/ she will receive it.

I am happy to be told I am wrong on that assumption.

Yes, I think that's correct, thanks, Usedtobeblonde

We've always received £100 each apart from 2023 when we received £250 each.

I'm in my 80s I get £200, Hubby is 79 he gets £100

I think if you live alone in your 80s its £300.

The people who said they get £200 each must live at separate addresses.

My understanding is its maximum £300 per household.
