Following last week's Autumn Budget, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has confirmed that disability benefits, including Carer's Allowance, will increase by 1.7 per cent for the financial year 2025/26.

Liz Kendall MP also announced that the new rates for benefits such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Attendance Allowance will commence from April 7.

A successful claim for PIP currently provides between £28.70 and £184.30 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks - resulting in 13 payments over the course of a year instead of 12 - this amounts to between £114.80 and £737.20 every payment period.

Weekly component rates for 2025/26 An uprating of 1.7 per cent will see individuals on disability benefits receive between £29.20 and £187.45 each week, some £116.80 or £749.80 every four-week pay period.
