Check if you are due £150 cost of living payment being made to 6.7m people this month

An estimated 6.7 million people claiming disability benefits across Scotland, England and Wales are set to receive a one-off payment of £150 from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) between Tuesday, June 20 and Tuesday, July 4. People in receipt of an eligible disability benefit will receive the money automatically during the two-week payment window.

Eight benefits qualify for the payment including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Adult Disability Payment. To qualify, claimants must have received a payment on April 1, 2023 - or later found to be eligible.

For those people awaiting confirmation of their entitlement to disability benefits on April 1, or who are waiting to be assessed for eligibility to receive disability benefits, the payment process may take longer and arrive after the scheduled window closes on July 4, but DWP said the money will still arrive automatically.

£150 disability cost of living payment eligibility

The full list of benefit recipients that qualify for the payment are those who receive:

  • Attendance Allowance
  • Constant Attendance Allowance
  • Disability Living Allowance for adults
  • Disability Living Allowance for children
  • Personal Independence Payment
  • Adult Disability Payment (in Scotland)
  • Child Disability Payment (in Scotland)
  • Armed Forces Independence Payment
  • War Pension Mobility Supplement

Payment window

The money will be paid automatically into the same account for your qualifying benefit, but will appear as a separate payment. This will arrive between June 20 and July 4, 2023.

More details about all the cost of living payments due between now and spring 2024 can be found on GOV.UK here.
