Millions of people across the UK claiming disability benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Social Security Scotland are set for a bumper payment boost next year following the Autumn Statement.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt confirmed State Pension and benefits will increase by 10.1%, the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate, next April.

This means people in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Child Disability Payment could receive regular payments every four weeks of between £107.80 and £691.20.

At present, claimants can receive between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period. This means a monthly increase of up to £63.60 is on the way for some of the UK’s most vulnerable households, however, it’s important to be aware that those figures represent the minimum award possible - a single award for the lower rate mobility only, and the highest awards for both the daily care and mobility components.
