DWP: Six million people will get a £150 cost of living disability benefits payment in September and October

Around six million people claiming disability benefits will be paid a £150 cost of living payment next month.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says the payment is to help with the rising cost of living. Energy bills alone are set to increase by more than £1,500 this autumn.

The payments will be made from September 2022, the DWP confirms. It expects most who are eligible to be paid by the middle of October.
