    Not unless they claim a qualifying means tested benefit like Universal Credit/Income Related ESA/JSA or Income Support. You can see all the current details here. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cost-of-living-support/cost-of-living-support-factsheet-26-may-2022
    Looking back at your threads because you're claiming UC then yes you will receive the £650 and the £150 if you're claiming PIP/DLA.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hmm yes, this is the Sun newspaper. A very misleading heading there. If you read further down it does say the following..

    Among those eligible for the help are those on Universal Credit and other means-tested benefits.

    They will get a £650 one-off payment starting from July to help pay for things like energy, fuel and food, which have all risen in price in recent months.

    Please read the link i posted above because it's far more accurate and reliable than a newspaper.

    Some people will obviously qualify for more than one payment, as Poppy says relying on a newspaper is never a good idea.

    Wrong.

    The £150 for PIP claimants and the £400 energy rebate.

    You say you cannot receive means tested benefits. To confirm, did you ever check entitlement to UC while on sick pay?

    So he will also get the extra £300 with the Winter Fuel Payment.
    That's a total of £850 between you (not counting the £150 already provided through local authority).

    It both £150 and £650 claiming those benefits. 
    What’s not clear is if you live with others that are also claiming a qualifying means tested benefit, whether the £650 is per claim or per household.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
