An estimated 6.7 million people claiming disability benefits across Scotland, England and Wales are set to receive a one-off payment of £150 from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) between Tuesday, June 20 and Tuesday, July 4. People in receipt of an eligible disability benefit will receive the money automatically during the two-week payment window.
Eight benefits qualify for the payment including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Adult Disability Payment. To qualify, claimants must have received a payment on April 1, 2023 - or later found to be eligible.
For those people awaiting confirmation of their entitlement to disability benefits on April 1, or who are waiting to be assessed for eligibility to receive disability benefits, the payment process may take longer and arrive after the scheduled window closes on July 4, but DWP said the money will still arrive automatically.
