Those who claim the DWP benefit Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could potentially receive up to £2,000 in cost of living payments as the Government attempts to ease the impact of the cost of living crisis.
Many PIP claimants, who have health problems or disabilities that affect their daily lives and mobility, are set to receive at least £700 in Government support but more can be claimed. Over a third of claimants are in need help after being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, mood disorders or stress. Other conditions that claimants have are musculoskeletal, neurological or respiratory disease, Birmingham Live reports.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has promised to ease the cost of living crisis by offering another £15bn of support, on top of the £22bn previously announced. A variety of different schemes will provide cash via benefit accounts, local authorities and energy providers, leaving some people struggling to get to grips with what they'll receive or have to claim - and when.
