Six million people across the country claiming disability benefits are set to receive a one-off £150 payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) as part of the UK Government’s £37 billion financial support package to help households during the cost of living crisis.
DWP has confirmed that a number of payments will arrive before Friday, September 23 but that the vast majority will be made from Monday, September 26 . If you are eligible for the payment, the £150 will land in your bank account automatically - there’s no need to contact DWP about it.
DWP expects payments to be delivered by early October and as with previous cost of living payments to those on means-tested benefits, people who think they are eligible will need to wait until the payment window has passed before making a query.
