The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued an update for people on disability benefits such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Adult Disability Payment (ADP) and Attendance Allowance, who may still be waiting on the £150 cost of living lump sum. The money was made automatically to more than 6.4 million people during the two-week payment at the end of June, beginning of July.
At the time, DWP said 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”. However, anyone still waiting on the payment can now report it missing over the phone - directly to the department that delivers their disability benefit.
From July 5, claimants could report the £150 disability cost of living payment missing online at GOV.UK, but the guidance now gives full details on how to report it missing by phone.
To be eligible for the £150 payment, you must have been in receipt of one of the benefits listed below on April 1, 2023:
DWP guidance explains: “If you're still unsure whether you should have had the 2023 Disability Cost of Living Payment of £150, contact the office that pays your benefit.”
