State Pensions and benefits increased earlier this week after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) applied the annual uprating.
More than 12 million people will see State Pension payments rise by 8.5 per cent while those on benefits including Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will receive a 6.7 per cent increase.
Members of the Daily Record Money Saving Scotland Facebook group have confirmed that even though the uprating was only applied on April 8, two people in receipt of PIP have received a slightly higher amount in their payments on Wednesday (April 10).
Both members receive the maximum PIP rates - worth £691 in the 2023/24 financial year - and have been paid £694.29. The new maximum PIP rate will be worth £737.20 in the 2024/25 financial year, but most people will not receive the full amount until May as payments are usually made four weeks in arrears.
