People who claim benefits such as Universal Credit will see a rise in their payments next year - but how much more cash will claimants receive?
Here is a round-up of all the benefits and what people can expect to get in 2023. This comes after chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced in his Autumn Statement that the State Pension and all benefits would rise by 10.1% in April.
Following growing concerns over the triple lock being set aside for a second year when calculating the pension rise, he did confirm it would be honoured, reports Birmingham Live. He told MPs: "There have also been some representations to keep the uplift to working age and disability benefits below the level of inflation given the financial constraints we face. But that would not be consistent with our commitment to protect the most vulnerable so today I also commit to uprate such benefits by inflation with an increase of 10.1%.
