More than six million people with disabilities have started to receive a £150 cost-of-living payment.
The one-off payments, issued by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) throughout a two-week window, will support people with the extra costs they face. The payments are part of a wider package of cost-of-living support worth up to £1,350 to the most vulnerable households.
As the payment is made automatically, those eligible for the support do not need to take any action. The payment reference on bank statements will appear as the person's national insurance number, followed by "DWP COL".
