A statement has been issued by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) following complaints that one-off disability payments have not been arriving in their accounts. Millions are due to receive a £150 cost-of-living payment that was announced by the Government in May.
The lump-sum is intended to help disabled people cope with rising cost of living, as well as for care and mobility needs, reports the MEN. This comes on top of other payments totalling £650 for disabled people on low incomes, announced as part of a £37billion package of support to help people with rising costs.
The government announced last week that around six million people would start to receive the one-off payment. However, some people took to social media to share their concerns the £150 hadn't been paid in yet and worried their payment had been delayed.
