Many parent/carers are feeling a bit lost over when each cost-of-living payment will be made, especially regarding the latest £150 disability payment.

Here's a breakdown of the payments that have either been made or are ongoing.

If you haven't received £150 for each child on DLA/PIP or another disability benefit, don't worry. A few parents already have, but most will be get it in early October.

Some families have also received £150 for one child but not the other. This is also normal, as payments are being made on an individual basis.

Once all payments have gone through, you can report a missing payment here: secure.dwp.gov.uk/report-a-missing-cost-of-living-payment
