State Pensions

The state pension will rise by a smaller amount next April as the Government has announced plans to temporarily suspend its so-called 'triple lock', which guarantees how much the benefit will rise by each year. But the change needs to be approved by Parliament first.

State pensions are expected to rise by 2.5% next April under the 'triple lock' guarantee – meaning an increase of about £230/year for those receiving the new state pension in full.

The official state pension age has now hit 66 – and is set to rise further in the coming years.

From today, women in the UK will be eligible for the state pension at the same age as men.
