DWP confirms £301 cost of living payment will not be made to all benefit claimants
Some benefit claimants will not receive the £900 cost of living payment, a Government minister has confirmed.
The response came after Labour’s Dame Angela Eagle MP asked in a written query: “For what reason the Department has decided that those in receipt of Contribution-based Employment Support Allowance and who do not receive Universal Credit are not eligible for Cost of Living Support payments?” The DWP minister went on to outline the additional UK Government support being paid to millions of households in 2023/24. “This payment comes on top of extensive [UK] Government support with the cost of living, including six million disabled people having been paid a separate £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment,” she explained.
