New 2008/9 benefit rates
Wed 28-Nov-07 12:45 PM

These are usually announced as part of the autumn pre-budget statement. HMRC have announced their rates (Tax Credits,etc.), but what's happened to the DWP uprating figures. Hope they're not lost in the post too...

Apparently it's too costly to print just the benefit rates so they're producing a list of all claimants with their benefit entitlements.

It'll be on Ebay next week.

ps.

You can find some stuff including pension credit at
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/mediacentre/pressreleases/2007/oct/drc043-181007.asp

It came out on the 18th October and includes the statement "A full list of all the proposed increases for other benefits will be announced later this year by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.". I haven't seen anything yet.

Last year new DWP rates were given in Parliament on 11 Dec and appeared on Rightsnet 12 Dec. Presumably it will be the same sort of date this year.
