Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what recent steps the Government has taken to support people with disabilities with increases in the cost of living.

Over 8 million households on eligible means-tested benefits will receive Cost of Living Payments, totalling up to £900. The first instalment of £301 was paid recently.

In addition, over six million people receiving an eligible disability benefit will receive a further £150 disability cost of living payment from the 20th of June.
