Millions of people will receive a £150 disability cost-of-living payment this week.
The lump sum, which was announced in May, will be paid automatically to people who receive certain disability benefits, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said. The one-off payment is intended to help disabled people with the rising cost of living and the higher costs they face, such as for care and mobility needs.
It comes on top of other cost-of-living payments totalling £650 for disabled people on low incomes. All households will receive £400 to help towards energy bills, and an extra £150 for properties in council tax bands A-D in England.
