<p>We have kept the rules for the Cost-of-Living payments as simple as possible. This
includes paying a flat rate to those in receipt of means-tested benefits regardless
of household circumstance and paying the Disability Cost of Living Payment to those
being paid the relevant benefit on the qualifying date. This was to ensure that we
were able to develop the processes to deliver these payments quickly to those who
most need the help with increased inflation. This includes those being paid a benefit
where they were in a resident care home.</p>
