Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of cost of living payments have been paid to people receiving Personal Independence Payment; and how many of those payments are outstanding.

In line with the code of practice, the number of Cost of Living Payments made to recipients of a specific benefit is the subject of an upcoming statistical release, and cannot be released before that publication is ready, subject to usual quality assurance.

The Department for Work and Pensions has published management information on the total number of Disability Cost of Living Payments made. As of 30 September 2022, 6,000,000 Disability Cost of Living Payments had been made.

The information which will be updated as new payments are made can be found here: Cost of Living Payment management information - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
