Chancellor Rishi Sunak recently announced a £15 billion package of additional financial support for millions of households across the UK finding it increasingly more challenging to cope with the rising cost of living.
Around six million people who receive disability benefits will get a one-off cost of living payment of £150 by the end of September and those also in receipt of a mean-tested benefit will receive an additional £650, made in two instalments - the first in July, the second in the autumn.
However, a new online petition is calling on the UK Government to give all disabled people and unpaid carers the £650 payment, highlighting that these two groups - some 12.5 million in total - have higher utility bills and food costs.
The petition was created earlier this week by Abigail Broomfield and posted on the petitions-parliament website where it has already received more than 550 signatures of support.
Ms Broomfield wrote: “Disabled people should be included alongside carers in the £650 one off payment as part of the Cost of Living support package. We have larger utilities bills and food costs when compared to non-disabled people. We rely on these utilities and food to stay alive.”
She also issued a grave warning: “Without including disabled people for the full £650 entitlement, many more disabled people could die.
“We might have to switch off or use our equipment less which is vital for our survival. We could be unable to purchase specific food for our dietary requirements.
"We might be unable to be warm. This could lead to more hospitalisations and death.”
The UK Government will only respond to the ‘Make people on disability benefits eligible for the £650 one off payment’ petition, once it reaches the 10,000 signature
