Many claimants will receive more help
PIP claimants could get up to £2,000 in cost of living payments this year. Those who receive the DWP Personal Independence Payment benefit are set to get a bonus payment to help with rising living costs.
In order to get the £150, you must have been eligible for one of the above benefits on May 25, 2022. It will be paid into benefit accounts from this September, the DWP confirmed. Households without a domestic electricity supply contract will not be eligible for the scheme, the Government's Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy said.
If you are already receiving PIP when you get a State Pension, you will continue to get it. But you cannot put in a new claim for PIP once you hit retirement age. We looked at the rules on PIP and State Pension in this earlier guide. In addition, HMRC will give a similar £650 payment to those on Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit, but on different dates. In these cases, the first payment of £326 will be delivered in the autumn and the second payment of £324 sometime this winter.The Household Support Fund has been given an extra £500 million by the DWP and will now continue until March 2023.
