DWP: State Pension Increases
Created: 05/05/2026
News/Events Category: Employability
Pensioners saw their State Pension rise by up to £575 from Monday 06 April 2026, as both the basic and new State Pensions increase by 4.8% under the Triple Lock guarantee.
Pension Credit will also rise by 4.8% and be worth an average of £4,300 a year, unlocking further support including help with housing costs, council tax and free television licenses.
The increases come into effect as the government takes wider action to ease pressure on household finances, including raising the National Living Wage, cutting an average of £150 from household energy bills, lifting the two-child limit and freezing rail fares and prescription charges.
