The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed a major boost for UK state pensioners from April this year. At Work and Pensions<\/a> questions in the House of Commons<\/a> on Monday, March 9, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury Torsten Bell said that the final sum people will see as an increase from next month is \u00a3575 a year.<\/p>\n

He added that DWP<\/a> projections show that people should be getting \u00a32,100 a year extra by April 2029. He told the chamber: \u201cThe yearly amount of the full new state pension is projected to rise<\/a> by about \u00a32,100 a year over the current Parliament. That reflects the Government\u2019s commitment to the triple lock for the duration of the Parliament. Payments of both the basic and new state pensions will increase by 4.8% in a few weeks\u2019 time, boosting pensioners\u2019 incomes by up to \u00a3575 a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Labour\u2019s Peter Prinsley then asked about pensioners who are struggling to survive<\/a>: \u201cWe welcome the Government\u2019s commitment to the triple lock, but some pensioners in my constituency continue to live in poverty and isolation, and are in need of food banks. What specific measures can the Government take to reduce social isolation and tackle poverty in this group of people?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bell replied: \u201cPensioner poverty halved under the last Labour Government<\/a>, but it has risen more recently. That is why it is so important that, as well as increasing the state pension, we have put in place the biggest-ever take-up campaign for pension credit and focused on the cost of essentials\u2014most importantly, energy, where new measures will come into place in the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
