Show Notes
Universal Credit and other key benefits rise by 3.8% starting April, tied to last Septembers inflation rate. This includes Child Benefit, Personal Independence Payment, and more. The government reviews these payments annually, using the inflation figure from the previous September as the guide. Most economists expected a higher inflation rate, but it held steady. New rates cover everything from standard allowances to child additions and work allowances, offering some relief amid steady prices.
