The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that millions of eligible UK residents will receive a £150 cost of living payment to help ease financial pressures. This one-off payment is part of the government's broader support package amid rising inflation and energy costs.
Who Qualifies for the £150 Payment?
The payment is targeted at individuals receiving certain disability benefits, including:
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Attendance Allowance
- Armed Forces Independence Payment
- Constant Attendance Allowance
- War Pension Mobility Supplement
When Will Payments Be Made?
The DWP has stated that payments will be automatically processed between 20 June and 4 July 2024. Eligible recipients do not need to apply—the funds will be deposited directly into their bank accounts.
Why Is This Payment Being Issued?
This financial support comes as many households continue to struggle with the rising cost of living. The government has emphasised its commitment to assisting vulnerable groups, including disabled individuals who often face higher living expenses.
What If You Don’t Receive the Payment?
If you believe you qualify but do not receive the £150 by early July, the DWP advises contacting them directly. Be cautious of scams—official payments will never require personal details via email or phone.
