The UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that tens of thousands of disabled benefit claimants will receive compensation in 2025. This follows a legal battle where claimants who had been receiving Severe Disability Premiums (SDP) were financially disadvantaged when moved to Universal Credit, losing up to £180 per month.
The court ruled in favor of the claimants, leading to the compensation decision. The DWP has now provided an update on the payment timeline, ensuring affected individuals will be reimbursed.
Meanwhile, over 600,000 benefit claimants have faced sanctions for rule violations, with some seeing reductions or complete stoppages of their payments.
