The one-off payments form part of wider support package
The Department for Work and Pensions has shared that 99% of the claimants who are eligible for the disability cost of living payment have received it. The £150 one-off payments are a part of a wider support package worth up to £1,350 to help the most vulnerable UK households.
The payments were expected to be sent out over a two-week window between June 20 and July 4. However, the distribution is now mostly complete with more than six million disabled people across the UK, reports Lancs Live. It means that the majority of eligible claimants have now received their payment. 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 individual’s National Insurance number followed by “DWP COL”.
This latest payment is in addition to the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment that was paid last September. Pensioners will also receive a further £300 payment later this year as an addition to the Winter Fuel Payment, and people on eligible means-tested benefits will be paid up to two more Cost of Living Payments through to next Spring.
This means that some of the most vulnerable households can receive up to £1,350 in direct Cost of Living support. A smaller number of payments will be made after 4 July, where claimants were still awaiting confirmation of their eligibility or entitlement to qualifying disability benefits on 1 April.
