New details have been announced for this.
If you’re in receipt of either of the following benefits. 
  • Attendance Allowance
  • Constant Attendance Allowance
  • Disability Living Allowance for adults
  • Disability Living Allowance for children
  • Personal Independence Payment
  • Adult Disability Payment (in Scotland)
  • Child Disability Payment (in Scotland)
  • Armed Forces Independence Payment

You must have received a payment (or later receive a payment) of one of these benefits for 1 April 2023 to get the Disability Cost of Living Payment.

If you were getting a qualifying benefit from the Ministry of Defence and a qualifying benefit from DWP, you will get a Disability Cost of Living Payment from DWP only.

If you receive a Disability Cost of Living Payment, but we later find that you were not eligible for it, you may have to pay it back.

When you’ll be paid

Most people will be paid the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment automatically between 20 June 2023 and 4 July 2023.

    Some will receive it and some won’t. It can be anytime between 20th June and 4th July. No one can predict when exactly you will receive it.

    No one, unless their bank allowed access to the funds early. Payments aren't due to start until tomorrow.

    Out of 5 people I know who claim PIP only 1 has received it yet, so don't worry. I didn't get the £301 COL until the 3 May, a week later.

    I haven't had mine yet.  I got the £301 on the very first day so not sure how they distribute them. 

    Can't be totally random, must be done on NI numbers or birthdays or names or something.  Computers don't do 'random'!

    It may depend how long you been receiving qualifying benefits maybe? If you do get the benefits then you will get it surely? I got the 301 on 1st day to but expect to get this one on last day as I ain't been receiving my benefits that long. Hopefully you receive it soon.

    No, it's nothing to do with how long you've been claiming them either. I've claimed PIP for almost 10 years and received my £150 today.

    My daughters been claiming PIP since 2017 and had hers yesterday. We live together and i'm her appointee so her money goes into my bank account.

    Yes it can be at random because the payments aren't automatically sent by the computer. A person has to actually send them.
