The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said it remains on track to deliver one-off £150 cost-of-living payments to the vast majority of eligible people with disabilities by the start of October.
Around six million people are due to receive a £150 disability cost-of-living payment. The DWP previously said people would start receiving payments from Tuesday this week - and that the vast majority of those eligible are expected to receive their one-off payment by the start of October.
The DWP said on Thursday that it still expects this to be the case, with more payments expected to be sent out next week than this week. It said an "operational issue" meant fewer payments were sent out this week.
