Older people on Attendance Allowance, PIP or ADP may be due an extra £331 from April

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Online guidance from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on GOV.UK explains that if someone of State Pension age on a low income receives Attendance Allowance or the middle or highest rate care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), or Adult Disability Payment (ADP), they may be entitled to extra Pension Credit.

As part of the annual uprating exercise, from April the disability element of Pension Credit will rise from £81.50 per week to £82.90.

This amounts to £331.60 every four-week pay period, up from £326. Similarly, a couple claiming Pension Credit where one person is claiming a disability benefit, will also receive an extra £82.90 each week and if someone is paid Carer’s Allowance they may be entitled to extra weekly Pension Credit of £45.60 - rising to £46.40 from April 7.

Older people may also get this extra Pension Credit if they are entitled to Carer’s Allowance but are not being paid it, or being paid it at a lower amount than normal, because they are being paid a higher amount by another, income-related benefit such as the State Pension - more commonly referred to as an 'underlying entitlement'.
