The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that by Friday, September 30 it had processed almost six million £150 disability cost of living payments to eligible claimants across the UK, worth around £900 million in total.
People who have not yet received the extra financial support should still do so by early October, however, DWP has now updated online guidance to enable them to report a missing £150 disability cost of living payment if they cannot see it in their bank, building society or credit union account.
DWP said there will be some cases - such as those who gained entitlement to this payment at a later date or where payments were rejected due to invalid account details - who will not be paid by the beginning of October. These will be paid automatically as soon as possible - report a missing payment here.
