It used to be only around £11 per payment from being brought in right up to the 2000s.
It was never increased much at all for ages.

In the 2000s Labour increased it from around £11+ up to £25.

It hasn't been looked at again since then.
It is time to look at it but really it's so hard to get by the ruling around how it's triggered with the 7 days consecutive days nonsense.
That needs reducing as to the number of qualifying days in my view

As it stands really it's more pointless than a help.
