Hundreds of conversations on social media began as people discussed the unexpected cash, with many hopeful for the financial boost. The DWP adds that this is how they have always operated around Cost of Living payments, and although the £150 may not go far in light of upcoming price hikes, it will still be welcomed by many.

Many took to social media to share the positive news and inquire if others had received the same. The Department for Work and Pensions have now confirmed that the payment was part of a review to ensure people received the correct entitlements from September 2022's Disability Cost of Living Payment. This welcome surprise was money due to people last year that has only been paid now.
From April onwards, many will experience price hikes in their broadband, mobile, water and council tax bills. However, the £150 will go some way to counteracting the extra costs, with an average of £90 more a year. The DWP have always operated in this way, ensuring people receive their entitlements when due.
