Disability payments are tax free and don't count towards your benefit cap
Many people are now starting to look at the Consumer Price Index. The September figure is used in the Triple Lock measurement, and helps determine the state pension uprating.
While the Triple Lock only guarantees the State Pension increase for the 2024/25 financial year, it could also see disability benefits rise by the same uprating. Even an uplift of 2.5 per cent would give people on the highest awards of Personal Independence Payment , Adult Disability Payment , Disability Living Allowance or Child Disability Payment, receive over £708 every four-week pay period.
As the benefits are usually paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691 every payment period. Attendance Allowance claimants would see their weekly payments increase to either £69.80 or £104.30 each week under a 2.5 per cent annual uprating. This is equivalent to £279.20 or £417.20 every four-week pay period.
