Budget 2024 benefit rises - full list of all 14 payment increases to be confirmed tomorrow

Labour is set to reveal its first Budget in nearly 15 years, with a blend of pledges to increase pay for minimum wage workers. Keir Starmer confirmed on Monday that the £2 bus fare cap across England will rise to £3.

While the final content of the Budget will be unveiled tomorrow, there are some changes we can anticipate. For instance, benefit payments typically increase each spring to keep pace with inflation.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to announce that these benefit rates will rise in line with the consumer price index (CPI) measure of inflation from September 2024, equating to an increase of 1.7%. This is positive news for millions of individuals on benefits such as Universal Credit, housing benefit, and pension credit, as they will start receiving more money from April 2025.

Meanwhile, the triple lock on state pensions, which ensures the state pension rises in line with the highest of wages for May to July, 2.5% or September's inflation figure - meaning this year that is wage growth coming in at 4.1%, according to a report in the Mirror.
