Benefits administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are set to rise by a record amount next year.
As the cost of living crisis has continued to worsen, the value of DWP benefits dropped in real terms in 2022, with households across Scotland and the UK struggling to afford everyday expenses and bills.
As reported by the Daily Express, the value of most DWP benefits increased by just 3.1 per cent in April, in line with the inflation level in September 2021.
