Aprils benefits increase. was created by Maria Hagen
I note from the autumn statement that there will be an increase in benefits of 10.1% in April. It names a few benefits. I am on income related ESA and Pip which I gather are covered. However I am also in receipt of severe disability and disability premium. Are those covered too?

Hi Maria

Someone may come and contradict me, but as the two you mention are premiums, I would not expect them to be increased.
