An appeal hearing over the £20 weekly uplift is due to take place next week
An appeal hearing over the £20 weekly uplift which was paid to millions of people claiming Universal Credit during the coronavirus pandemic, but not to those on legacy benefits, is due to take place next week. One of the litigant’s involved in the challenge confirmed on social media that the legal team representing the four benefit claimants will present their case to the Court of Appeal on Wednesday December 7, 2022.
The right to appeal the ruling could now result in the four claimants involved in the case being awarded more than £1,500 in backdated payments from the Department for Work and Pensions - and set a precedent for everyone who missed out on the uplift. “The claimants sought permission to appeal that decision from the High Court. We can now confirm that on 3 August 2022 the Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal.”
Four claimants brought a challenge to the High Court in November 2021 in relation to the UK Government's failure to apply a similar increase to legacy benefits.
