One-off £150 payment ‘of little use’ in supporting disabled people, campaigners say
WITH about six million people set to receive the £150 disability cost-of-living payment into their bank accounts today, campaigners warn that the “paltry sum” does not go far enough.
Those being paid a qualifying disability benefit will be sent the one-off sum automatically from September 20, with the vast majority expected to receive the payment by the start of October, the government announced yesterday.
The payment is part of the government’s support package to help people with soaring prices.
