Added on Wednesday 7 Jul 2010

Budget 2010: disabled '£300 worse off' as RPI is abandoned - Disabled people will be more than £300 a year worse off after the Government introduced a new inflation measure for benefits, it has emerged. The pensions minister, Steve Webb, has revealed that the decision to link benefits to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rather than the Retail Price Index (RPI) will cost those surviving on disability living allowance and associated benefits several hundred pounds a year.
