manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

People who are receiving benefits will see a rise in PIP and DLA payments as weekly rates change this month. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is benefit provided for over 16s and those under state pension age who need help covering their listing costs due to a physical or learning disability, long-term illness or mental health condition.

Currently, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can provide between £23.70 and £152.15 a week to help with additional costs - usually, this is paid into the claimants bank account every four weeks.

But, an increase of 3.1 per cent has now been confirmed by the government which will apply to the majority of benefits, including PIP and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in the coming week.

It means someone receiving the highest rates for DLA and PIP will see their regular payment rise from £608.60 to £627.60.
