June DWP Payouts Confirmed – Full List of Dates, Amounts & Who Qualifies

June 2025 is turning out to be a really helpful month for millions of people across the UK. With food prices, energy bills, and other daily essentials still higher than usual, many families and individuals have been struggling to make ends meet. The good news is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed several important payments to help reduce the financial pressure.

Whether you’re receiving Universal Credit, living with a disability, or are retired and getting the State Pension, there’s some extra support coming your way. Let’s go through each of these payments and see who qualifies, when the money is arriving, and how you can make sure you don’t miss out.

1. £301 Means-Tested Cost of Living Payment – Help for Low-Income Households

The first major support payment is the £301 Cost of Living Payment, targeted at people who are on income-related benefits. This one-off payment is part of the government’s plan to help low- and moderate-income families with the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Who can get this payment?

You will qualify if you were getting any of these benefits during the qualifying period set by the DWP:

• Universal Credit
• Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• Income-Related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Income Support
• Working Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit
• Pension Credit

You don’t need to apply for it. If you’re eligible, the DWP will send it automatically. Just check your bank statement between 3 and 14 June 2025. You’ll see a payment marked with a reference like “DWP COLP” (Cost of Living Payment).

Why is this payment important?

Let’s say you’re a single parent relying on Universal Credit. This £301 could help cover your grocery bills for a few weeks, pay for school uniforms, or even help with unexpected home repairs. It’s not a permanent solution, but it can offer a bit of breathing room when things are tight.

2. £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment – Support for Disabled Individuals

Living with a disability often means higher everyday costs—from mobility aids and medical supplies to additional heating or transport. To help with these extra expenses, the DWP is providing a £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment.

Who can get it?

If you are currently receiving any of the following benefits, you will qualify:

• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• Attendance Allowance
• Armed Forces Independence Payment
• War Pension Mobility Supplement
• Constant Attendance Allowance

This payment will arrive between 24 and 30 June 2025. Again, it’s fully automatic—no need to apply, fill in forms, or call anyone.

How can this help?

For example, if you need to use a wheelchair and rely on regular taxi rides to get around, £150 could cover several weeks of transport costs. Or maybe you use extra electricity to power medical equipment at home—this payment could help reduce the impact of high energy bills.

3. £150–£300 Pensioner Cost of Living Bonus – Support for Older Adults

Pensioners are also getting some extra help—but this payment is technically scheduled to arrive in early July 2025. Still, it’s being counted as part of the June support rollout.

Who qualifies?

You will get this extra £150 to £300 payment if:

• You are receiving Pension Credit
• OR you qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment

This payment is meant to help older adults with heating bills, groceries, transport costs, or anything else that’s essential. The money will be added to your usual Winter Fuel Payment.

4. Your Regular Payments – What to Expect in June 2025

In addition to these special one-off bonuses, many people depend on regular DWP benefits every month. Here’s a quick reminder of how these routine payments work in June:

Benefit	Amount	Frequency	Notes
Universal Credit	Varies	Monthly	Paid early if due on a weekend or bank holiday
State Pension	Varies	Every 4 weeks	Payment date depends on your National Insurance number

Final Thoughts: Relief Is On the Way

June 2025 is truly bringing some much-needed relief to households across the UK. For someone juggling food costs, rent, and rising energy bills, even a one-off payment like £301 or £150 can make a real difference. For pensioners, an extra £300 could help prepare for colder weather or cover other important needs.

So, if you’re someone who relies on DWP benefits, keep a close eye on your bank account this month. Make sure your information is up to date, and don’t ignore payment reference alerts that might signal the arrival of your support. If you think you’re eligible but haven’t received your payment by the expected date, don’t hesitate to contact the DWP for help.

In challenging times, every bit counts—and this June, the UK government is making sure that support reaches those who need it most.
