US EditionDWP to make major changes to benefit rates from April including Universal Credit, PIP and others - Liverpool Echo
- As of March 16, 2025, many families across the UK are missing out on financial support, with over 200,000 people not claiming Child Benefit from HMRC even though they are eligible.
- This oversight means families are missing out on approximately £2,200 a year, while Child Benefit is currently worth £25.60 a week for the eldest or only child.
- Child Benefit payments are set to increase, with the amount for the eldest or only child rising to £26.05 a week from next month.
- Benefits, including Child Benefits, Universal Credit, and Personal Independence Payments , will increase by 1.7 per cent next April, in line with inflation figures from September.
- An anonymous DWP PIP recipient with Multiple Sclerosis expressed concerns about increasing day-to-day living costs and reliance on benefits, stating that even with her husband's income and her PIP payments, their finances just disappear each month.
