Did the Chancellor make any reference as to whether the age allowance this year at £9940 will be incresaed in 2012/13?

I was wondering this myself. I had a quick look on Age UK's website, but nothing was mentioned. Did it go up last time? I have a few years to go yet, but it is already on my radar. Just like the rubbish interest rates.

Today's Telegraph has a figure of £10,390 for 2012/13 on page B10 of their budget supplement.

Now at work, so can post full details:

2010/11 £9,490
2011/12 £9,940
2012/13 £10,390

And the income limit (currently £22,900)? Any increase in that announced in this or next financial year? Thanks.

Most can be found here:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/it.htm

But for ease of reference:

Tax Year
2010/11, 65-74 - £9,490, 75+ - £9,640, Income Limit - £22,900
2011/12, 65-74 - £9,940, 75+ - £10,090, Income Limit - £24,000
2012/13, 65-74 - £10,390, 75+ - £10,550, Income Limit - £25,100

The 12/13 figures are from the Telegraph, can't see them on the HMRC site.
