The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that an “evaluation of the Cost of Living Payments is underway” after Labour MP Navendu Mishra asked whether an estimate has been made of the “average financial impact per claimant of the discontinuation of Disability Cost of Living Payments”.
More than six million people claiming disability benefits including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) received one-off payments for £150 in 2022 and 2023.
The lump sum was part of the UK Government’s financial package to help people with a disability navigate the ongoing cost of living crisis.
In a written response last week, Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Mims Davies MP, said that “no estimate has been made about the discontinuation of Disability Cost of Living Payments” adding that the DWP estimates some 60 per cent of disabled people also received £900 in means-tested Cost of Living Payments over the 2023/24 financial year.
