June 2025 is proving to be a lifeline month for millions of UK residents, thanks to several confirmed financial boosts from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). With inflation still pinching pockets and essentials costing more than ever, these targeted payouts aim to lighten the load.
Whether you’re receiving Universal Credit, a disability benefit, or your State Pension, here’s everything you need to know about what’s arriving in your bank account this June.
Support
Let’s start with the big one—the means-tested cost of living payment. If you’re on an income-related benefit, there’s a solid chance you’re eligible for this one-off support worth £301, arriving between 3 and 14 June 2025.
Who qualifies?
You’ll qualify if you received any of these during a previous qualifying period:
- 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
No need to apply—it’s automatic. Just watch for the payment reference on your bank statement, and that £301 should be landing soon.
Disability
Next up is support for those living with disabilities. Between 24 and 30 June, the DWP will pay out £150 to help cover the extra costs disabled people face every day—from specialist equipment to increased travel or care expenses.
You’re eligible if you get:
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Attendance Allowance
- Armed Forces Independence Payment
- War Pension Mobility Supplement
- Constant Attendance Allowance
Again, it’s automatic—no forms, no stress.
Pensioners
Pensioners haven’t been forgotten. While the money officially lands in early July 2025, this payment is still part of June’s DWP support rollout. If you’re eligible, expect an extra £150 to £300 on top of your Winter Fuel Payment.
How to qualify?
- You must either receive Pension Credit
- Or qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment
This added boost is designed to ease energy and living costs for older adults, especially ahead of cooler months.
Regulars
While special one-offs are great, many depend on routine DWP payments to stay afloat. Here’s a reminder of how the usual benefits line up in June 2025:
| Benefit | Amount | Frequency | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Universal Credit | Varies | Monthly | Early if due on weekend/bank holiday |
| State Pension | Varies | Every 4 weeks | Based on your National Insurance number |
| PIP | Varies | Every 4 weeks | Based on personal circumstances |
| DLA | Varies | Every 4 weeks | Depends on claim detail |
| Attendance Allowance | Varies | Every 4 weeks | As per eligibility |
Make sure your bank details are up to date with DWP to avoid delays. Always check your usual payment dates—especially if your expected date falls on a weekend or public holiday.
Summary
Here’s a snapshot of the key DWP payments arriving in June 2025:
| Payment Type | Amount | Payment Dates | Who Gets It |
