Quick Question about Social Welfare Payment Amounts

Hi all, When the social welfare payment was lowered in the budget, did this happen straight away or it to be imposed from the 1st Jan? Just asking as I have a meeting with my boss on Tuesday and I need this info... Thanks

1st of Jan,

[quote="bugone":1kn6oo7d]1st of Jan,[/quote:1kn6oo7d] +1 - everything bar the petrol increase is 1st of Jan I think (oh and the stamp duty thing but essentially all the SW stuff was 1st of Jan)
