Lots of local papers seem to have this story, especially in the north, but I don’t see any reference to an official source.
The story seems to come out of proposals by the Commission on Social Security. No plans, just proposals…

£231 per week, could explain the higher AP’s, Range Rovers anyone. ?

Wouldn’t it cost them more than the current system though?
Depends on how they implement it. If it’s flat £231 per week while retaining all other benefits, then yes, it would cost more.
If it’s £231, but that’s it, then no. It’ll cost less, and people would potentially lose out on a lot of stuff (council tax reduction, help with water, energy etc). It’s more akin to a “basic income scheme”.

Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.The new disability benefit’s payment rates would be: Lower – £83.70 per week; Middle – £152.15per week; Higher – £230.77 per week.
scotland is taking responsibility for their own disabled(as i think are wales and Ireland) and have promised that its value will be at least as good as it is. Mind you, Ive heard that before.
