Helen from Newcastle carers coming to join us and discuss her role in supporting Asylum seekers and Refugee carers support available in the region.
The government has confirmed that disabled children and adults will receive their second £150 disability cost-of-living support paymentbetween 20 June and 4 July this year.
As with last year’s payment, this will once again be made on an individual basis – meaning parent carers who have multiple children on disability benefits will get a separate payment for each child.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the one-off £150 sum, individuals must have been in receipt of (or have begun an eventually successful claim for) one of these qualifying benefits as of 1 April 2023.
There is no need to apply. If you’re eligible, you’ll be paid automatically in the same way you usually get your benefit.
Most people will receive their non-taxable payment between 20 June and 4 July 2023. But your payment may arrive later if, for example, you’re awarded a qualifying benefit at a later date, or if you change the account your benefit is paid into.

We had a wonderful day in the salon Friday!
Lots of pampering and even more gorgeous children.
It is amazing to see the progress the children make with these termly salon days, from being a little fearful of haircutting to enjoying the experience.
