Dear Parents & Carers,

Cost-of-Living Payment

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.

 

For more information on the government's cost-of-living support package, visit contact.org.uk/cost-of-living-support

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

 

Dear Parents & carers,
