Mr Hunt said he would increase universal credit by 6.7 per cent, in line with September's inflation figures.
The state pension was boosted by 8.5 per cent, one of the largest-ever cash increases of the state pension, Mr Hunt declared.
Before Mr Hunt's announcement, the government had already trailed that free prescriptions and legal aid would be cut off for claimants who are deemed fit to work and do not seek employment.
