Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 30 June 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on raising the (a) Minimum Income Guarantee and (b) other welfare payments in the 2023-24 financial year.
While we have had no specific discussions, we will work with the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure that any decision on uprating the social care allowances is informed by the uprating of other welfare payments. The level of the Minimum Income Guarantee is reviewed on an annual basis. The next review is due in January 2023 and will be published in the Local Authority Circular.
