Thousands of Brits are this week receiving their first of the £900 cost of living payments dropping into their bank account from the Department for Work and Pensions.
The initial £301 pay out is being given to people who currently receive benefits and is aimed at helping with the rising cost of living. The payment has led to those on disability benefits like Personal Independence Payments (PIP) wondering if they would get the money, reports Lancs Live.
On BirminghamLive's Cost of Living Facebook page, one person asked: "If you're in receipt of PIP, do you get the £301 cost of living payment?" Another had a similar query, saying: "How come I didn't get a cost of living payment, I'm on PIP and haven't had anything." A number of other people are raising the same issue.
