Govt publishes 10.1% State Pension rise details
The Government has confirmed that the new State Pension will rise from April by £18.70 from £185.15 per week to £203.85.
The percentage rise is 10.1% as the Triple Lock has been applied. Last year's increase was 3.1%.
The government confirmed details of the rise in a comprehensive published update to all state benefits, including pensions.
The old or ‘basic’ State Pension will rise from £141.85 per week to £156.20.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt ended speculation about the State Pension and the Triple Lock in his Autumn Statement recently.
The Triple Lock applies an increase in line with the highest of the previous September's inflation figure, the average increase in wages or 2.5%.
