Check how much your payments will rise if you have children or limited capability for work
An estimated 19.2 million families and 39.8 million individuals across Great Britain currently in receipt of State Pension or benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs will see their payments go up by 10.1 per cent next week. However, due to payments made in arrears most people will not see a difference until May.
The uprating means that on average, a family on Universal Credit will benefit by around £600 this year. The benefit cap will also rise in line with inflation, this will see it increase from £23,000 to £25,323 for families in Greater London and from £20,000 to £22,020 for families nationally - lower caps for single households without children will rise from £15,410 to £16,967 in Greater London and from £13,400 to £14,753 nationally.
The £301 payment will be sent out automatically to the account used by claimants for their qualifying benefit, which means nobody needs to apply for the financial support - if you receive a text, email or phone call asking you to make a claim for any cost of living payment, it is a scam. Payments will appear on accounts as ‘DWP COLP’, along with the claimant’s National Insurance number.
