DWP benefits claimants have been issued a warning after a minister suggested benefit payments may not rise in line with inflation.
This comes after the UK Government announced that there will be tax cuts to the most wealthy.
Normally, benefits and pensions are automatically uprated each April in line with inflation, however, chief secretary to the Treasury, Chris Philp has admitted that this is now under consideration. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 9.9 per cent in the 12 months to August 2022, down from 10.1 per cent in the month earlier.
