The huge cash incentive for hard-working Brits comes as the Prime Minister attempts to claw back some of the 20-point poll deficit.
It will come on top of a further 2p cut to National Insurance for working people.

There are around 4.25 million self-employed workers in the UK who could be in line to benefit from the proposals if the Tories are re-elected.
The Prime Minister has outlined how a Tory government elected for the next five years would help working people “keep more of the money you earn”.
He insists the Tories are the party of “sound money” despite being dogged by the mini-Budget under ex-PM Liz Truss.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt explained at the Budget how over the long-term the party wanted to abolish National Insurance.
The move has been attacked by Labour for costing £46 billion.
Mr Hunt cut 2p off NI contributions at the autumn statement last year and cut the same amount at the Budget in March.
Just before the election was called, Mr Hunt also revealed how the government would push ahead with a cut if it was affordable.
Speaking in mid-May, he said: “If we can afford to go further, responsibly, to reduce the double tax on work this Autumn that is what I will do.”
Labour have hit out at the Tories’ ideas calling them the most expensive “panic attack” in history.
Mr Sunak is expected to say that he will cut taxes for “earners, parents and pensioners”.
Plans to help first-time buyers will be unveiled with stamp duty abolished for those paying £425,000 for their property.
