Millions of disability claimants across England are set for a 10.1% payment rise from the Department for Work and Pensions this year, all of which will be totally tax-free.
State Pension and most other benefits will rise from April onwards, as part of the DWP's annual uprating - which means that those in receipt of PIP, Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Child Disability Payment could cash in on annual payments between £1,398 and £8,983 across the 2023/24 financial year.
If the Personal Tax Allowance had not been frozen at £12,570 for the new financial year - April 6 onward - and if disability payments were subject to income taxation, claimants would only be left with £3,587 for their annual allowance.
