A Treasury minister has pledged people in receipt of benefits from Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) will see a rise next year.
People who receive government support were hit when the government suspended the triple lock increase this year. Pension rises are normally based on a triple lock that sees them go up by whichever is the highest of inflation, average wage increases or 2.5%.
However, the jump in wages at the end of furlough would have led to increase of 8.8%. The DWP revealed the rate will instead rise by 3.1% next month in line with the Consumer Price Index.
