Approximately six million eligible Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) claimants will begin receiving a £150 cash boost amid the worsening cost of living crisis.
People who claim certain qualifying disability benefits will be issued the one-off payment as part of the UK Government's £37 billion support package. This also includes the Energy Price Guarantee and cost of living payments totalling £650.
According to the DWP, claimants who were receiving a qualifying disability benefit on May 25 will get the £150 automatically. The UK Government department said that the "vast majority" will get the payment by the start of October.
