State pensions in the UK have been at the forefront of a lot of government changes and warnings in recent weeks.
For example, people have recently been notified that the deadline to add more money into their pot by voluntary National Insurance contributions has been extended from April 5 to July 31. This is important for those hoping to claim the full state pension for which you will need around 35 years of qualifying National Insurance contributions.
Meanwhile, a variety of pensions will receive an increased rate following the return of the state pension triple lock which was temporarily suspended due to the Covid pandemic. This means pensioners all over the country will see a 10.1 per cent rise which is in line with September 2022's CPI inflation rate.
