DWP: Millions of older people will see pensions of more than £815 per month from April

Recipients of both Basic and New State Pensions will see substantial increases to their weekly and monthly awards as of April this month, as 12.5million elderly people have their pots boosted by 10.1 per cent.

The Government's Triple Lock Rule was confirmed in November 2022, and it means that older people will see income surges of up to £75 each month as of the spring.

As it stands, there are around 10.1million Britons claiming Basic State Pension payments in the region of £141.85 or lower - with 2.4 recipients of the New State Pension, awarding up to £185.15 a week.
