Measure impact

Recipients of the full AAH receive about €50 more per month from November 2018. For recipients living as a couple, the couple's income ceiling is lower (coefficient 1.89 instead of 2), which reduces or removes the allowance for some of them. Cost of the uprating estimated at €40m in 2018.
