Recommendation 5
5
Paragraph: 90
Review current benefit levels against benchmarks and outline plans to achieve objectives
Recommendation
Having established a benchmark, the Department should review the extent to which current benefit levels are meeting this benchmark. If DWP finds that it is not meeting these objectives, it should set out how it intends to reach them alongside annual uprating, for example, by ratcheting-up benefit levels where fiscal headroom allows.
