answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2022 answer text <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> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 13/10/2022 16:02:37 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
