    Fully detailed here
    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment?mc_cid=d8310461d2&mc_eid=407191570c

    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.


    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    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.
