No uprating in 2027 of APL housing parameters or of the activity bonus

The annual revision of the housing cost parameters of the APL (housing benefit), normally on 1 October, and the uprating of the 'prime d'activité' (in-work benefit), normally on 1 April, would not be applied in 2027. The Government could choose by regulation not to apply this measure. RSA (minimum income), AAH (disability allowance), ASPA (minimum old-age pension) and ASS (specific solidarity allowance) would still be uprated in line with inflation.
