1.3 million people in England and Wales who are entitled to certain means-tested benefits can get either 200 or 300 .
Amounts have not changed in more than two decades despite periods of sky-high inflation.
Sky News analysis in the Money blog shows that the 200 available for 60 to 79-year-olds would be worth 370 today if it had risen in line with inflation.
The payment for the over 80s was raised to 300 in April 2003 .
