Millions of people on certain benefits will receive a £150 cost of living this month. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants are among those who will receive the funds as the cost of living crisis continues.
While an estimated 6 million individuals will begin getting the funds from September 20, some are being warned they will need to wait until October, Lancs Live reports. According to the website, most claimants are expected to receive the payment by the start of next month.
It comes as inflation, largely driven by energy price rises, piles pressure on consumers ahead of winter. Confidence among UK consumers has fallen into negative territory for the first time since June 2020, according to a survey, and is the largest decline since the early stages of the pandemic.
