Disability Cost of Living Payment stakeholder toolkit
Created: 27/09/2022, Updated: 30/09/2022Over the next few weeks, six million disabled people in the UK will receive a one-off £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment as part of the Government’s Help for Households support. Those who had confirmed payment of their disability benefit for 25 May don’t need to do anything and will receive the £150 automatically by their usual payment method, with the vast majority to be paid by early October. While some people have been paid this week, the majority of people will be paid next week.
Anyone who is awaiting a payment should therefore wait until early October before getting in touch with the Department for Work and Pensions.
Universal Credit's Disability Cost of Living Payment toolkit for stakeholders includes everything organisations need to communicate the Disability Cost of Living Payment with a range of resources such as easy-read information sheets, suggested newsletter and social media copy, FAQs and a British Sign Language information video and wider Help for Households information.
