At present, claimants can receive between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period
Millions of people across the UK claiming disability benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions and Social Security Scotland are set for a bumper payment boost this year.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt confirmed in November's Autumn Statement that State Pension and benefits will increase by 10.1%, the September Consumer Price Index inflation rate, this April. This means people in receipt of Personal Independence Payment , Adult Disability Payment , Disability Living Allowance and Child Disability Payment could receive regular payments every four weeks of between £107.60 and £691.
At present, claimants can receive between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period. This means a monthly increase of up to £63.40 is on the way for some of the UK’s most vulnerable households, however, it’s important to be aware that those figures represent the minimum award possible - a single award for the lower rate mobility only, and the highest awards for both the daily care and mobility components.
People over State Pension age with a health condition or disability will also see their weekly payments increase to either £101.75 for the higher rate and £68.10 for the lower rate. There is no mobility component for Attendance Allowance, only daily care, so this means monthly payments will either be £272.40 or £407.
The proposed payment rate changes have been published by DWP on GOV.UK here and will come into effect on April 10, 2023.
