New PIP and DLA weekly rates for 2025/26 after Autumn Budget - full list

Following last week's Autumn Budget, the Work and Pensions Secretary has confirmed a 1.7 per cent rise in disability benefits, including Carer's Allowance, for the 2025/26 financial year. Liz Kendall MP also announced that new rates for benefits such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Attendance Allowance will commence from April 7.

Currently, a successful claim for PIP or ADP can provide between £28.70 and £184.30 each week in additional financial support. As the benefit is paid every four weeks - resulting in 13 payments over a year instead of 12 - this equates to between £114.80 and £737.20 every payment period.

Weekly component rates for 2025/26

An uprating of 1.7 per cent will see those on disability benefits receive between £29.20 and £187.45 each week, or £116.80 or £749.80 every four-week pay period. Over the course of the financial year, this will result in people on the highest awards receiving an extra £9,747 in cash assistance.

It's crucial to note that the top figure of £749.80 is based on an individual receiving the highest award for both daily living and mobility components. Attendance Allowance does not include a mobility component, reports the .
