Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he plans to uprate social security benefits in line with inflation in April 2024.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions is required by law to undertake an annual review of benefits and the State Pension, and this review will commence shortly.
The outcome of the review will be announced in the Autumn – and therefore it would not be appropriate to pre-judge the outcome.
