Around six million people on disability payments have received £150 to help with rising costs of living. The UK Government has confirmed it has made the payments to eligible claimants after an initial delay in sending out the money last month.
The payments were originally due to be sent out on September 20 but the Department for Work and Pensions admitted there was a delay after thousands of people complained that they had not received the money. It has said the vast majority of eligible claimants who were due to receive the one-off payment have now had it processed.
People on disability benefits such as disability living allowance, personal independence payment, attendance allowance, armed forces independence payment, constant attendance allowance, or the war pension mobility supplement were eligible for the payment, which was being given automatically. You can now report a missing payment if you feel you are eligible but haven't received one for any reason.
