Paragraph: 113
Government decisions to uprate working-age benefits and Local Housing Allowance welcomed.
Conclusion
We welcome the Government’s decision to take a consistent decision and uprate all working-age benefits for 2024–25 by the September 2023 CPI inflation rate of 6.7%. We also welcome the Chancellor’s announcement in the 2023 Autumn Statement that Local Housing Allowance rates will be reset at the 30th percentile of local market rents in April 2024, after several years of freezes and increasing rent prices.
