More than six million people will receive extra cash from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) from today (June 20).
One-off payments of £150 will be issued during a two-week window to support people with the extra costs they face amid the ongoing cost of living crisis. The payments are part of a wider package of support worth up to £1,350 to the most vulnerable households.
Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said: "We recognise that some of the most vulnerable UK households continue to face cost-of-living pressures, in particular those who are disabled. Our commitment to halving inflation and ultimately getting it back to the 2% target will relieve a lot of financial pressure for us all, but this extra support will help over six million disabled people right now as we work towards that goal."
