More than six million disabled people across the UK are set to receive a £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment from today.

These one-off payments, issued by the Department for Work and Pensions, will be issued between the 20th June and 4th July 2023.

If you were already in receipt of any of the following benefits before 1st April 2023 you are eligible for the Disability Cost of Living Payment:
  • 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
  • War Pension Mobility Supplement

A small 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.

The payment is made automatically, those who are 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 new payment is in addition to the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment that was paid last September.
