Welfare Benefits Up-rating Act 2013
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This Act changed how UK welfare benefits (like jobseeker's allowance and housing benefit) are increased each year. Instead of matching inflation automatically, it capped most benefit increases at 1% per year for three years, meaning the money people receive wouldn't grow as quickly as prices do.
