Thousands of Universal Credit claimants could get an extra £156 every week if they are also eligible for Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show 5.6million people across the UK get Universal Credit - a benefit for those out of work or on a low income.
That figure is expected to rise this year after changes in November 2021 mean 500,000 more people can get Universal Credit or Jobseeker's Allowance.
