Most benefit payments are calculated in arrears which means it could be mid-May before you see the uprating.
An estimated 19.2 million families and 39.8 million individuals across Great Britain currently in receipt of State Pension or benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue and Customs will see their payments rise next month as part of the annual uprating. However, the 10.1 per cent increase does not start from April 1, and it could be a few weeks before the extra money arrives.
The easiest way to work this out - if you are paid every four weeks - is to check when your next payment is due in relation to Monday, April 10. From there, you can calculate when the new rates will be applied to your award and how much you can expect to receive at the end of your next assessment period.
