DWP 150 cost of living payment update for recent disability benefit claimants
Privacy Notice
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has recently announced a one-off cost of living payment which will be made between June 20 and July 4. Claimants must have received a payment on or before April 1 to be eligible for the lump sum, reports Daily Record.
Minister for Disabled People Tom Pursglove MP has shared an estimated 6.7 million people are due to receive the payment. However, he added that successful claimants could still get the payment even if the claim was awarded after the qualifying date.
The DWP also said those waiting on confirmation of their entitlement to disability benefits on April 1 may find the payment process may take longer and arrive after the scheduled window closes on July 4. However, the money will still arrive automatically.
