The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed when the next £150 cost of living payments will land in bank accounts. The upcoming payment is the second of five different amounts being paid in a Government package being spread across the year.
The first payment of £301 was paid out between April 25 and May 17. The support is being paid out to six million people who are on support such as Personal Independent Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA), BirminghamLive reports.
The next lump sum will be paid out over a two-week period from Tuesday, June 20, to Tuesday, July 4. The payments could go in at any time between those dates although bank credits do not normally happen at weekends.

At the end of the payment window, there will be an option to report a missing £150 payment if people believe they are entitled to receive it but did not see it drop into their account. People need to have been on one of the following disability benefits on April 1, or have been subsequently paid for that date: Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Scottish Disability Benefits (Adult Disability Payment and Child Disability Payment), Armed Forces Independence Payment, Constant Attendance Allowance and War Pension Mobility Supplement.
They must have received a payment (or later receive a payment) of one of these qualifying benefits for April 1 this year. The DWP said for those who were awaiting confirmation of their entitlement to disability benefits on that date, or who are waiting to be assessed for eligibility to receive disability benefits, the process may take longer, but payments will still be automatic.
