Millions of people currently in receipt of Personal Independence Payments (PIP), Adult Disability Payments (ADP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Child Disability Payments are expected to receive up to £691 every month from April. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will be paying out regular payments every four weeks, with sums ranging from £107.60 to £691.
It comes as part of changes which will see the State Pension and such benefits rise by 10.1% in April. Currently, those claiming any of the benefits listed above receive between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period, The Daily Record reports. This new sum will mean a monthly increase of up to £63.40 for some of the UK's most vulnerable households.
It is worth noting however, these figures are representative of 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.
