My pension went up 10.1 % from 10th April so won't see full amount until end of MaySorry if already discussed elaswhere (did search, but couldn't find anything). After eagelry awaiting her 10.1% state pension increase, Mrs MSB got just 8%, even though she is way below the threshold to pay any tax
Has anyone else noticed similar?
Not 10th May?My pension went up 10.1 % from 10th April so won't see full amount until end of May
cheers, understood nowNew financial year started on 6th April and my increased state pension rate started the Monday after that, so I only got part of the 4 weeks at the increased rate .
My next payment is due 2 weeks this Friday,and I am 100% sure I will get the full 4 weeks at the increased rate (+10.1%).
Dont wish your life away blue, wish I was still workingEnjoy ya lucky blue buggers
They've just given us 10.1% increase,so I don't think anyone receiving state pension can complain this year.Keep voting for the tories. You'll get nothing and you'll pay fees and interest on it.
No I get mine on 30th of each monthNot 10th May?
Off subject, but UK State Pension is a fraction of minimum wage and one of the worst in Europe. Cannot see any Government increasing pensions to match MWThey've just given us 10.1% increase,so I don't think anyone receiving state pension can complain this year.
And if they stick to the triple lock next year, it will go up again by at least 5% (earnings are going up to try and keep pace with inflation).
It'll be interesting to see if either party decides to knock the triple lock on the head.
I can't see either of them doing that,it would be a huge vote loser and I don't think they would want to lose all those FOC votes.
Tbf the only people the Tories look after are pensioners, hence the 10.1% increase despite inflation heading in the other direction as I type.Keep voting for the tories. You'll get nothing and you'll pay fees and interest on it.
I'd disagree, the rise this year was purely political and not to ensure pensioners have a liveable income.Tbf the only people the Tories look after are pensioners, hence the 10.1% increase despite inflation heading in the other direction as I type.
The new state pension is paid every 4 weeks,so it is a different date each month. So unless you are getting the basic state pension,I think you maybe mistaken.No I get mine on 30th of each month

Then you’re disagreeing incorrectly. You’ve just argued my exact point. Of course it’s political. The blue rinse brigade overwhelmingly vote Tory.I'd disagree, the rise this year was purely political and not to ensure pensioners have a liveable income.
*whispers quietly because @SWP's back didn't mention names and I'm not exactly a blue rinse person, I let my hair go natural years ago* ;-)Then you’re disagreeing incorrectly. You’ve just argued my exact point. Of course it’s political. The blue rinse brigade overwhelmingly vote Tory.
