The annual benefits uprating in April is typically determined by the September CPI inflation rate.
The Triple Lock guarantee determines the level of uprating for the State Pension and pays the highest between September’s Consumer Price Index inflation rate, earnings growth, or 2.5%. Once the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride MP, has completed his review of the increase in prices, he must also decide whether to up-rate other benefits, and if so, by how much.
An uprating of 2.5% would see weekly Attendance Allowance payments increase to either £69.80 or £104.30 each week - as mentioned above, this amounts to £279.20 or £417.20 every payment period. Top Money Stories Today What is Attendance Allowance The latest figures from the DWP show that by the end of November 2022, there were more than 1.4 million older people receiving Attendance Allowance, including 127,399 living in Scotland.
