    You will get £650 because you are on UC (£326 in July, £324 later in the year) and the £150 because you are on PIP.

    Oh okay cheers @calcotti just wasn’t sure if I was eligible due to living at home with my mum and there for they may not think I have to pay bills even tho I do pay my mum towards bills but wasn’t sure if they would just be giving it to people who have like rent gas electric and that if you get me?

    You receive UC - you get a payment.
    You get a disability benefit - you get a payment.
    What you need to spend your money on has nothing to do with the entitlement.
