New DWP Disability Payment Rates for State Pensioners Effective April 2025 Revealed

Birmingham: Starting in April 2025, state pensioners getting disability support will see their payments go up. The Department for Work and Pensions is raising almost all benefits.

The increase is 1.7 percent, based on last September’s inflation. This was shared in the October Budget. The State Pension and Pension Credit will get a bigger boost of 4.1 percent due to the triple lock guarantee.

Attendance Allowance is one of the benefits getting the 1.7 percent rise. If you’re on Personal Independence Payment (PIP), it will continue when you hit State Pension age, but no new claims can be made.

Disability Living Allowance is still around, but now it’s only for kids under 16. Pension Credit recipients will also benefit from these changes.

Here’s a quick look at the new payment rates for 2025-2026. For Attendance Allowance, the higher rate goes from £108.55 to £110.40 weekly, while the lower rate rises from £72.65 to £73.90.

For PIP, the daily living component’s enhanced rate will increase to £110.40, and the standard rate will be £73.90. The mobility component’s enhanced rate will go up to £77.05, with the standard rate rising to £29.20.

Pension Credit will also see changes. The single standard minimum guarantee will increase to £227.10, and for couples, it will rise to £346.60.

These adjustments aim to help those who need it most, making life a little easier for many.
