The Department for Work and Pension (DWP) has confirmed people across the UK - including Glasgow - who are currently claiming Universal Credit will receive the 10.1 per cent uprating in benefit payments from Tuesday (May 16).
State Pension and other benefits increased last month on April 10 as part of the annual uprating exercise. However because of payments made in arrears, the new rates will not land in accounts until this month.
Minister for Employment Guy Opperman MP, was asked by Labour MP Dame Nia Griffith whether the uprating “was paid to claimants in their April benefit payment”.
