Approximately six million people across Scotland and the UK will receive a one-off sum of £150 starting this week from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Beginning Tuesday, September 20, eligible disability benefits claimants will get the payment as part of the UK Government's £37 billion support package to help households through the worsening cost of living crisis.
The DWP has revealed that the "vast majority" of eligible households will get the money by the start of October.
