Benefits freeze to end in 2020, government confirms
Published 3 November 2019
The freeze in benefit payments is to come to an end next year, the government has confirmed.
Working-age benefits such as universal credit and jobseeker's allowance will rise by 1.7% from April 2020, the Department for Work and Pensions said.
It ends former Tory chancellor George Osborne's decision to introduce a freeze from April 2016.
