The extra payment of £150 will go to more than six million people in the UK who are in receipt of disability benefits, over a two-week period starting from June 20. In Wales, a total of £65million is being shared among 433,300 people and Cardiff has the highest number of people eligible for the payout (39,100), with £5.9million going to claimants in the city.
