Cost of living payments

McKneff

Could someone please tell me the cost of living payment of £150 paid in June last year, was that per pensioner or per household.

The only £150 payment I can think of was for people claiming disability benefits regardless of age, so that was per claimant (of DLA/AA/PIP/any other qualifying disability benefit).

The pensioner cost of living payments were bundled in with Winter Fuel Payments and did depend on the household situation - but those were paid in winter, definitely not June.

Last June's one was £150 for people in receipt of a qualifying Disability benefit, and would be per person rather than per household, I believe.
