Millions of people are set to receive a one-off £150 payment to help with the cost of living.
The money is part of the UK Government’s £37 billion package of support aimed at helping households across the country cope amid soaring food, petrol and energy prices. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will deliver the payments and has recently updated people as to when they will receive the cash.
The payments will start landing in people's bank accounts from today (Tuesday, September 20), the Daily Record reports.

On Sunday, a tweet from the DWP said: "f you are eligible for the £150 Disability #CostOfLivingPayment, you do not need to do anything. Payments are automatic and the majority will be made by early October".
You may get a lump sum payment of £150 if you’re getting any level of award for one of the following:
- Attendance Allowance
- Constant Attendance Allowance
- Disability Living Allowance for adults

Eligibility
You must have received a payment (or later receive a payment) of one of these qualifying benefits for May 25, 2022 to get the £150 payment.
If you get a qualifying disability benefit from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and a qualifying disability benefit from DWP, you will get a Disability Cost of Living Payment from DWP only.
When will you receive the £150 payment?
Payments will be made from September 20, 2022.
DWP said: "You’ll be paid the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment automatically from 20 September 2022. Most people will receive their payment by the beginning of October 2022.
"Payments will be made to people who get a qualifying disability from DWP before payments to people who get a qualifying benefit from the Ministry of Defence."
