Eligible claimants can now report a missing payment to DWP
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that by Friday, September 30 it had processed almost six million £150 disability cost of living payments to eligible claimants across the UK, worth around £900 million in total.
DWP started making the payments from September 20, however, due to some operational issues only a few scheduled payments were made with most landing in bank accounts between Monday, September 26 and Friday, September 30. This also follows the Prime Minister’s recent announcement of a new £2,500 Energy Price Guarantee, which will replace Ofgem’s energy price cap until 2024 and is expected to save households on the standard tariff with average usage, around £1,000 a year on their energy bills.
