The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed the date that millions across the country will receive a cost of living support payment. The majority of those entitled to disability benefit will get a £150 cost of living support payment with summer, as part of a package of government support to help people on lower incomes.
The money will be paid automatically over a two-week period, between June 20 and July 4. The payment aims to recognise the additional costs disabled people often face during a time when prices are rising for everyone, reports North Wales Live.
The payment can be used to help with common expenses for those living with a disability, such as care and mobility needs. 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 1 April.
