Has anybody received the £150 pip award
- Replies
Not yet.
from gov.uk:
You’ll be paid the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment automatically from 20 September 2022. Most people will receive their payment by the beginning of October 2022.
Seems there are scams, but mine is as mentioned linked to previous DWP textsNot had the payment yet, however did receive a text message attached to previous DWP text messages to updates when I claimed a while back…
Seemed late in the evening 21.17 (see pic), so didn’t open any links…
likewise, was some article i saw about delays in benefits payments due after the queens funeral and that they would come. Maybe not at the time they usually do.
So I guess that has maybe effected the rollout of the £150 payment.
Thanks for the info rox,
just to update the DWP text at 21.17 last night was a genuine link, I did agree with them to be contacted by email/text rather than phone..
Did anyone see this weeks Question Time from Grimsby,there was a fella on there who said he will be getting two £150 disability payments,he was praising the Govt for the help they are giving.
I thought ….you getting two….hows that then ?
Is he including the already paid “council tax” payment.
letter arrived today from veterans agency saying the payment will be made by end sept. my war pension is paid next tuesday so i assume it will be +150 this time.
Be careful, that text is a scam the DWP will never ask for bank details via text/email
Also no one has to check if they qualify it’s an automatic payment
Apparently the payments have been delayed due to a glitchy system, payments are starting to hit from today.

Mitch,
Just seen on my online banking that a payment of £150 from the Veterans Agency hit my account last Friday. I have not received any letter from them about it though. Like yourself, my normal War Pension is paid in on a Tuesday, so this stands out as a separate payment.
Having just spoken to the Veterans Agency, this payment was the £150 cost of living payment as I receive WPMS.
The Veterans Agency did say that the £150 payments are being paid separately to the usual WP payments and are being spread out. Mine was quote ‘in the first batch’. All payments are expected to have been made by the third week of October.
not had any payments of late sadly…

Umm, I wonder ! ?
Was looking through my bank account statements online the weekend and noticed a deposit of £135 had been made by my local council. I’ve racked my brains all day trying to figure out what the payment was for as I had the £150 one months ago.
Well today a letter dropped on the mat from the council telling me what the money is and apparently it says “This grant of £135 is payable as you are of pension age and were in receipt of council tax reduction on the 1stof April.”
I’m not sure how these things work but when I came off pension credit earlier this year it meant I had to pay council tax again after not paying any since becoming disabled and claiming DVL/PIP but a lady from the council said I still get a % reduction because I only have the state pension and think I pay council tax of 80% with a 20% reduction or there’s about.
So as I was on pension credit on the qualifying date I’m not sure if the grant is because of PC or because I’m a pensioner with a council tax discount but I’m not complaining.
P.S.
The description of the payment was “Household Support Fund” for anyone who thinks they might qualify.
Extra £200 from today in Wales apply now Mrs aj has and received info stating payment end Dec 22…
Please note, this is from today, not to be confused with any previous or existing payments..
Simple application, with email clarification and update on completion..
Hope it helps someone…
Just got my £150 payment, marked as “DWP COL”
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
Spoke too soon 🙂
It’s not mine, it’s my Autistic son’s !!

Yep went in under as mentioned above DWP COL …
Guess everyone be seeing the same soon..
Just got mine around midnight tonight (Thurs)
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
Got ours yesterday, also applied for the £200 support by the welsh government, as well as finally had the unpaid carers payment arrive last week.
Prior: SEAT Ateca Xcellence Lux 1.5 TSI DSG MY19, VW Golf GTE PHEV DSG MY23
Current: Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate
Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.I’m still waiting for my Pension Credit payments to start, they were due over 3 months ago but from what I can see online I’ll be lucky to get them by the end of the year.
Not to worry, it’s only £94 a week, I mean I’d only waste it on frivolous stuff like food, heating costs (16c here with no heating on) or maybe go mad and fill up the car!.

Received or £150 this morning, £50 off straight away towards one on the grandchildren Christmas presents.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
Seems there are scams, but mine is as mentioned linked to previous DWP texts
