Pre-Budget Report: Benefits to rise despite deflation

Chancellor Alistair Darling has announced that the Basic State Pension will rise by 2.5% next April.

As part of his Pre-Budget report today, he also said child and disability benefits will both rise by 1.5% at the same time.

These usually rise in line with RPI inflation, which is currently negative.
