Millions of people with disabilities will be given an extra package of support from the government to help with soaring inflation and rising energy bills. The payment comes as part of the wider cost of living support announced earlier this year.
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has outlined the details of those entitled to receive the bonus £150 cash payment. It will be a one-off payment for those on certain disability benefits.
Low-income individuals on means-tested benefits, which includes Universal Credit, will also receive an extra £900 over the course of the year. Those with disabilities who qualify for both are looking at a support package of at least £1,000.
