Universal Credit claimants are set to receive an increase on their payment rates from April 2023.
New benefit payment rates will be rolled out from the beginning of the 2023/2024 financial year, reports Chronicle Live. People who claim Universal Credit will get a 10.1 per cent increase on their payments, in line with inflation rates.
Those on low incomes - including those unable to work and the unemployed - can apply for Universal Credit. The payment increase was agreed on in November last year, which was based on the inflation rate for September 2022.
