Background
Increase the state benefit £10 Christmas Bonus, paid to most claimants, and the £0.25 80+ Age Addition for State Pension.
Please increase them both in line with the amount each would have been if it had increased each year and kept up with inflation. And then link their annual increases to the percentage that State Pension increases each year with the annual uprating which would maintain the rate across all benefit customers.
