answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2022 answer text <p>Around 62% of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) recipients also receive one of the qualifying means-tested benefits and so would be considered low-income under the Core Group 2 criteria. Those with high energy costs would therefore be eligible for a rebate. The Government’s analysis shows that 160,000 more households, where there is a person with a disability or long-term illness, will receive a rebate each winter compared to the previous scheme. My Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer has also announced a one-off £150 payment for people on disability benefits this year, alongside other cost of living support measures: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cost-of-living-support/cost-of-living-support-factsheet-26-may-2022" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cost-of-living-support/cost-of-living-support-factsheet-26-may-2022</a>.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 06/06/2022 14:01:16 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
