Millions of older people in the UK are set to receive up to £1,506 per month from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) from April.
State Pensions claimants will receive an income boost of 10.1% in the new financial year as part of the annual uprating from the DWP. However, older people also claiming tax-free disability benefits including Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Adult Disability (ADP) could also potentially see their income increase to over £1,500 per month.
The Daily Record reports the exact amount someone over 66 will receive depends on a number of factors including the disability benefit, the award rate and the amount of State Pension they receive.
