Millions of households across the UK have begun receiving £150 in disability cost of living support from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
According to the government department, more than 6.5 million people across the country will benefit from the cash boost. Payments will be made by the DWP across a two-week period, with most eligible claimants receiving the cash by July 4.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride MP, said: “This payment helps protect those who need our support the most, providing a vital financial boost to six million disabled people. Our multi-billion-pound package of support reinforces our commitment to help UK households with the rising cost of living. It comes on top of record increases to benefits and the national living wage.”
