UK raises most benefits 3.8% and State Pension 4.8% for 2026/27, with payments starting April 6.
The UK's Department for Work and Pensions has announced a 4.8% increase in the New and Basic State Pension and a 3.8% rise for most working-age and disability benefits for 2026/27, effective April 6.
Most recipients will not see the higher payments until May due to a four-week payment cycle.
State Pensioners paid weekly or fortnightly may notice the change sooner.
Universal Credit, PIP, Jobseeker’s Allowance, and Employment and Support Allowance rates also increase, with detailed amounts available on GOV.UK.
A mix of old and new rates may apply during the transition.
