    Being in receipt of PIP qualified the recipient to a specific cost of living payment of £150. There was one in 2022 and one in 2023.

    Not if that's the only benefit they claim. For this payment they need have been entitled to a payment of certain means tested benefit between 13th Nov and 12th December.
