By 2024-25, pensioners received on average an extra £900 a year compared to 2010-11, while those under 65 receiving benefits have lost an average of £1,500 a year.
The key drivers of this? Increasing the state pension via the Triple Lock, while freezing and capping support for working-age families.

Where has increased welfare spending increased?
Two areas stand-out: pensioners and disability & health-related benefits.
But as the Government found earlier this year, reducing welfare spending on these groups is tough politically and in policy terms.
