Summary

  • Update published 2026-27 UK benefit parameters, including Child Benefit, Pension Credit, Universal Credit, disability benefits, Housing Benefit allowances, and legacy benefit rates.
  • Update 2026-27 tax-facing parameters, including minimum wage, National Insurance thresholds, student loan thresholds, and dividend tax thresholds.
  • Preserve UC rebalancing behavior by treating published 2026-27 standard allowances as final amounts, while keeping existing-claimant LCWRA protection separate from the baseline LCWRA rate.
  • Add regressions for CGT, Child Benefit, Pension Credit, UC LCWRA/standard allowance, minimum wage, NI Class 4, student loan thresholds, and dividend tax thresholds.
