Just a heads up to everyone who may be interested.
The £150 Cost of Living Grant for those on Disability Grants IS payable for children.  There had been some confusion as to whether or not this applied only to adults.

See this link and scroll up to Disability Benefits.  

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment#full-publication-update-history

The latest Government update confirms this and lists all the Disability Benefits as follows:

"Disability benefits

You may get a lump sum payment of £150 if you’re getting any of the following:

• 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
• War Pension Mobility Supplement

You will need to have been entitled to one of these qualifying benefits on 25 May 2022 to get the payment.

You will get the payment by the end of September 2022."
