Claimants on Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments (PIP) are set for a small increase to payments from April. There will also be a change to payment dates, the Department for Work and Pensions has said.
This is due to the Easter holidays. With the start of the 2022/23 financial year, the changes will take effect from April 6.
Anyone a low income, out of work, or unable to work, are able to claim Universal Credit, while people who need assistance with living costs due to living with a health condition or disability, get help via the PIP. Both payments are vital for millions of people, and understanding the increases and payment changes is key for many to ensure their budget is balanced and they have enough money to get by, Hull Live reports.
