Over six million disability benefit claimants have received the cost of living payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The one-off payment of £150 is part of a wider support package worth up to £1,350 in some cases. It means 99 per cent of eligible claimants have now received their payment, with the 'few' outstanding payments due to be made by July 4.
The disability cost of living payment is being issued alongside four other payments to help support the most vulnerable households in the country amid rising costs and a worsening cost of living crisis. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride MP, said: "Tackling high inflation remains our priority as this is the best way we can ease pressure on households and help them with the cost of living.
