DWP makes 8 changes to Universal Credit and benefits in 2023

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) is set to enforce eight changes to benefits in the coming year. Over the next 12 months, those claiming benefits will see changes to things such as working hours, working coaches and payment amounts, to name a few.

It comes following the announcement of payment increases, beginning in April, which will see those claiming PIP and Disability Allowance, among others, paid up to around £691 a month. These changes will see the State Pension and such benefits rise by 10.1%.

Here's a full list of the changes we know so far, as reported by The Mirror.
