Payment

Northfleet70

Good Evening

i got my COL payment just want to ask a question I listen to the budget and did not hear much apart from the 10.1% increase in April

my friend said there is going to be a further disability COL payment and again with universal credit is this correct as I’ve not heard anything I’m thinking he is wrong

thank you

Yes. £150 again for disability and £900 CoL payment if you’re on Universal Credit. No one knows how and when they’ll be paid though I’m afraid.

I think the £900 payment should be made sooner.

No one knows yet when any of the payments will be!

The DWP have been told to give benefits increase immediately.

DWP told to give immediate benefits increase and permanent cost of living boost (msn.com)  I hope I won't cause any upset by posting this.

I don't think there's any need to say anything further regarding that link other than "please don't believe everything you read in a newspaper"

Benefits increases will apply from April, as they always do. The CoL payments information hasn't been released yet.

They have been urged to. I don't think the new cost of living payments will be paid this year.

The headline says 'told', the article says 'urged'. It will not happen.
