The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has recently confirmed that around six million people across the country will receive a one-off disability cost of living payment later on in September.
The extra £150 financial support will be paid automatically into people's accounts from September 20 onwards, reports the Daily Record. The "vast majority" of those eligible for the payment will have received the cash by the beginning of October.
In a new update shared by the DWP, the report tells people more about who is included in the scheme to be paid the extra cash before the energy price cap hikes on October 1. The update said: "Those who had confirmed payment of their disability benefit for 25 May are expected to be paid shortly after the payment window opens.
