Overview of the Upcoming State Pension Increase
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that the state pension will see a significant increase this April, totaling £460. This rise aligns with the government’s commitment to the triple lock system, which ensures that pension increases follow the highest of average earnings growth or the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Impact on Pensioners
- Financial Relief: The increase will offer much-needed financial support to pensioners.
