Those “Vanderpump Rules” ratings also buoyed those for Andy Cohen’s Bravo talk show “Watch What Happens Live,” which featured the first post-#Scandoval interview with “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix. In delayed viewing, an audience of 2.2 million total viewers across platforms tuned in to see Madix.
People due new DWP pay rates for State Pension, PIP and other benefits should see full uplift this month
05.05.2023 - 08:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Around 19.2 million families and 39.8 million individuals across Scotland, England and Wales currently in receipt of State Pension or benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will see their payments go up this month following the annual uprating in April.
State Pension, Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and other benefits increased by 10.1 per cent on April 10, but payments due immediately after the rise would have contained a mix of old and new payment rates. This is because most payments are made every four weeks in arrears, however, people paid weekly should have already noticed a significant increase.
DWP letters issued prior to the uprating advised claimants of the new weekly rates and how payments due after April 10 would not be the full, new amount. However, that was almost four weeks ago which means payments due this month should contain the full uprating.
It’s important to note that the change to the benefit cap, which also increased by 10.1 per cent, came into effect on Monday, April 10.
The rise means that it has gone up from £23,000 to £25,323 for families in Greater London and from £20,000 to £22,020 for families nationally. Lower caps for single households without children have gone up from £15,410 to £16,967 in Greater London and from £13,400 to £14,753 nationally.
During the Spring Statement announcement, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said the annual uprating means that on average, a family on Universal Credit will benefit by around £600 this year.
The DWP has published a full online guide to the increases for State Pensions, benefits and the increased benefit cap on the GOV.UK website here.
Below is a summary of the new payment rates, listed in

Inside The Party As Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Bob Iger And Others Celebrate Launch Of Final ‘Indy’ Late Into The Night At Cannes Film Festival
It was a great night for Disney as Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny had a smash debut in its World Premiere Thursday evening at the Cannes Film Festival where the June 30th release received a warm 5 minute standing ovation, especially for Harrison Ford in his swan song in the title role he started playing 40 + years ago. There noticeably to witness the French love and affection was none other than Disney boss Bob Iger attending his first-ever Cannes Festival (believe it or not) and even taking his own photos during the ovation for the movie. At the Carlton Beach after party I told him Deadline had just been the first to post its review, a rave (from our colleague Stephanie Bunbury) and you could see the absolute relief on his face. “You have made me very happy to hear that, ” he told me, and he meant it. All this came on the same day Disney took another shot at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by announcing the cancellation of a plan to move several thousand California employees to Florida. The Cannes respite must have been nice.
