We Made The Pre Budget Report Too!
December 10, 2009
Yes, Alistair Darling announced plans in the Pre-Budget Report to increase disability benefit by 1.5% in April. Today, the Tories criticised him for not setting aside enough funding to pay for this rise for more than one year, to which he responded that the increase is not temporary.
As usual, we must sit and wonder whether we will really get a payrise next year, or whether the plans are just another way for Labour to collect the Blue Vote. We’ll find out in five months. Meanwhile, we can simply be glad to get a mention, and start dreaming of ways to spend the extra money!
