Written statement made by Baroness Altmann (Conservative) on Thursday, 26 November 2015 in the House of Lords, on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Social Security Uprating

I am pleased to announce the proposed social security benefits rates for 2016. I have attached the table of rates to this statement and I will place a copy of the proposed benefit and pension rates 2016-17 in the House library. The annual uprating of benefits will take place for state pensions and most other benefits in the first full week of the tax year. In 2016, this will be the week beginning 11 April. A corresponding provision will be made in Northern Ireland.
