The money will go to those who currently receive disability benefits.
The Department for Work and Pensions has today announced that thousands will receive the support as part of a government package to help with the cost of living crisis.
Those who already receive a qualifying disability benefit will be paid automatically, the Government has said. Despite this, some have called for more support, including disability charity Scope, who said the £150 payment"won't touch the sides" for many living with disabilities. This week’s payment is separate to the £650 cost-of-living payment, the first instalment of which landed over the summer.
People are also being urged to be alert to scammers targeting those expecting cost-of-living payments.
