DWP confirms who will get £126 Universal Credit boost
- Universal Credit claimants will receive a 1.7% payment increase starting on April 7, 2025, as confirmed by the Department for Work and Pensions in the Autumn Budget.
- The increase means that a single person aged 25 or over will see their monthly payment rise from £393.45 to £400.14, an additional £6.69 each month.
- Joint claimants under 25 will have their monthly allowance increase from £489.23 to £497.55, amounting to an extra £10.50 a month or £126 a year.
- The new rates will be paid in arrears, so most people are expected to notice the changes in May 2025.
