Personal Independence Payment rates will be going up this year as the benefit freeze comes to an end in April 2020.
MPs voted earlier this year to lift the freeze and grant a rise of 1.7 per cent for most welfare payouts, a move which could benefit more than 10 million people.
PIP is a benefit given to those who need help with extra costs if they have a disability or long-term health problem.
Birmingham Live reports that it is one of the benefits which will be going up, along with Disability Living Allowance (which will be phased out as PIP takes over) as well as Severe Disablement Allowance and Incapacity Benefit.
Here are the new rates for all four.
