Hi,The standard payment increases announced by the government start from 6th April. This means that you won't see an increase until your May payment. This will then last for 1 year and then they will return to the normal standard allowance.0

Ok thanks

Hi @MK1993.
The standard allowance is increasing (for both the benefit increase announced some time ago and the coronavirus-related increase) and will be:
£342.72 for a single claimant under 25.
£409.89 for a single claimant over 25.
£488.59 for joint claimants under 25.
£594.04 for joint claimants over 25.
LCWRA is also increasing from £336.20 to £341.20.
As Poppy said, you won't see the increase until your May payment as it takes affect in the first full assessment period after April 6th.1 -
Hi @MK1993 and @poppy123456.
Legislation changed on Friday to say the new UC rates would take effect from the first assessment period ending on or after 6th April. This means many people will see the increase sooner, with those whose payments are due on the 13th April onwards will see the increase in that award.0 -
Thank you for letting me know this. So as I receive my next payment on the 23rd I will receive a bit more0

Yes that's correct @MK1993.0
