A wide series of DWP benefit payments will see a generous increase after this Easter weekend.
Every year, benefits are subjected to an increase that is in line with the recorded inflation for the previous September. In September 2022, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was recorded at 10.1 per cent.
This means many benefits such as Universal Credit, personal independence payment (PIP), and Tax Credits will receive a 10.1 per cent increase, with some payments seeing an increase of more than £200. The rise is in effect from Monday, April 10.
