The dates for a £150 cost of living payment that will go to six million people across the UK has been confirmed. The Disability Cost of Living Payment will be a one-off boost.
The DWP said that the vast majority will be paid automatically over a two-week period between June 20 and July 4. It comes in the wake of the £150 payment that was paid in September.
Those on certain disability benefits qualify for the payment. It will be paid into accounts automatically, reports the Liverpool ECHO.
A small proportion of payments will be made after this date, where claimants were still awaiting confirmation of their eligibility or entitlement to disability benefits on April 1. There will also be further payments of £300 for pensioners due later this year.
The full list of benefit recipients that qualify for the upcoming Disability Cost of Living payment are those who receive:
- Disability Living Allowance
- Personal Independence Payment
- Attendance Allowance
- Scottish Disability Benefits (Adult Disability Payment and Child Disability Payment)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment
- Constant Attendance Allowance
- War Pension Mobility Supplement
