2007/2008 benefit rates posters & cards for your organisation
Thu 08-Mar-07 12:08 PM

A draft copy of our 2007/2008 benefit rates poster is now available .... (let us know if you spot any gremlins)

Order copies for your organisation -

We'll be producing a final version of the poster, and our benefit rates cards, after the budget later this month .... and if you'd like copies for your organisation, we're now taking advance orders ...

  • The 2007/2008 poster is full colour, glossy, A3-sized.

  • The card is pocket-sized and folds down 'concertina-style' to 7.5 x 12.5 cm. Unfolded, it will detail the 2007/2008 rates across 8 panels split between means tested benefits, tax credits and non-means tested benefits.

    For an idea of how they look, a pdf file of the rates side of the card is available here.

Cost -

For a minimum order of 5, the posters will be £2.50 each.

For a minimum order of 50 rates cards, the cost will be £25 (multiply up for larger orders ... £50 for 100, £75 for 150, £100 for 200 etc).

(NB - All prices are exclusive of vat, but are free of postage and packing).

Delivery -

We'll be signing off the designs following the Budget, so orders will be received by organisations in early April.

Ordering -

If you'd like copies, email us @ rightsnet@lasa.org.uk ...... with how many you'd like, the cost, and the address(es) for delivery/billing.

... cheers - shawn.

thanks to daphne from bristol welfare rights for spotting that the figure alongside the long term rate of incapacity benefit has 'fallen off' .... should be £81.35

we'll add the figure back in in the next draft ....

no gremlins, but I have to say that I like the new layout, much easier on the eye than the old one.

cheers paul !

... have got ahead of myself and have just updated the benefit rates page of the site with the new figures ... in doing so spotted that we should also indicate on the poster, against the child rate of the enhanced disability premium in income support/jsa ... that's its not applicable to new claimants

Good afternoon!

The rate for long-term incapacity benefit is missing from your (draft) poster. I think the long term rate from April'07 is £81.35.

As in previous years, our new 2007/2008 poster concentrates on the actual new rates of benefit rather than, for example, benefit rules concerning earnings and other forms of disregard.
