People of State Pension age claiming disability benefits are set for a tax-free income boost this year.
People claiming their State Pension entitlement are set to receive an income boost of 10.1 per cent from April as part of the annual uprating from the Department for Work and Pensions . However, older people also claiming tax-free disability benefits including Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance , Personal Independence Payment and Adult Disability could potentially see their income increase to over £1,500 per month.
It’s also worth noting that some older people may be entitled to all of the UK Government’s cost of living financial support package which is set to start this Spring. Below are the details of the planned increases to State Pension and disability benefits with a monthly total to help everyone start revising their household budget.
People who reach State Pension age who are no longer claiming any of the working age disability benefits may also be able to reclaim it - as long as they are claiming for the same health conditions that they initially received the award for and the last claim ended less than 12 months before reaching State Pension age - find out more about this here.Minimum PIP/ADP payment per month: £107.
