<p>We have no such plans. The value of the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment is set in primary legislation: the Social Security (Additional Payments) Act 2023 (<a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/7/contents" target="_blank">Social Security (Additional Payments) Act 2023 (legislation.gov.uk)</a>).</p><p> </p><p>I am pleased to say that the payments, worth an estimated total of £1.17bn once all payments have been made, started to be paid into the bank accounts of qualifying recipients from 20 June with over six million people expected to benefit. More than 6m disabled people have received a one-off £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment. People receiving a qualifying benefit will be paid automatically by 4 July.</p><p> </p><p>We estimate that nearly 60 per cent of individuals who receive an extra costs disability benefit will also receive the means-tested benefit Cost of Living Payments, worth up to £900. Over 85 per cent will receive either or both of the means-tested, and the £300 Pensioner Cost of Living Payment.</p>
