	answer	answer answer text <p>The £1,000 increase to the Universal Credit (UC) work allowance, announced in Budget 2018, will increase the amount that 2.4 million households can earn before their UC begins to be withdrawn.

The Budget 2018 work allowance change increased government support for UC by £1.7bn per year by 2023-24. No assessment has been made of the cost of a further £1,000 increase in the work allowances over and above those which were increased in Budget 2018.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury’s distributional analysis, published alongside Budget 2018, shows the cumulative effect on household incomes of policies on welfare, tax, and public service spending measures. Because different measures often interact with each other, this cumulative assessment provides the best representation of the overall intended policy effect. This shows that since this Chancellor and Prime Minister took office, their decisions have benefited households throughout the income distribution, with the poorest households gaining the most as a percentage of net income.</p>
