Nearly 260,0000 people claiming disability benefits in the North East will receive a £150 boost to help ease the cost of living crisis from next month and our map shows how many will benefit where you live.
Anyone receiving one of nine disability benefits will receive the £150 payment from June 20, the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) confirmed last week. This is payment to the £301 cost of living sum which has been paid to eight million households over the past three weeks.
The extra £150 will go to more than 6m people who claim disability benefits, such as PIP, over two weeks starting from June 20.
