Closed Extend the £650 cost of living payments to contributions-based ESA claimants

Closed on

There are people who are on contributions-based benefits who cannot get the £650 cost of living payment because they are not on any Income Related Benefit.

We believe it is unjust for people claiming ESA on the basis of their NI contributions to be excluded from these payments.

The disabled and sick often use a larger proportion of their income on essential bills, and anyone receiving contribution-based ESA should receive the £650 cost of living payment.
