Hi all, I have noticed on a lot of forums and news sites that there is wrong information about the Disability payment. People are claiming you will get it if you are in the Support Group or UC equivalent. This is incorrect only PIP, DLA etc will get this payment. ESA and UC already received a payment in July.Thought I would post this for anyone who interested.

    Well that's actually correct in a way because if someone is claiming a disability benefit such as PIP/DLA/AA and claiming certain means tested benefitsand you received a payment between certain dates then they will be entitled to the £150 and the first payment of £326. Full details here. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cost-of-living-payment
