01.10.2024 - 11:47 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Approximately 12.7 million individuals over the State Pension age will discover how much their regular payments will increase in April, two weeks prior to Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirming the annual uprating during the Autumn Budget in Parliament on October 30.

The Labour Government has pledged to uphold the Triple Lock, and the final component of this policy is set to be published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Wednesday, October 16.

The New and Basic State Pensions rise annually under the Triple Lock, in line with whichever is highest between the average annual earnings growth from May to July (4%), the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate for the year to September, or 2.5 per cent.

Additional State Pension elements and deferred State Pensions increase each year with the September CPI figure. The August CPI figure was 2.2 per cent, while earnings growth stood at 4.0 per cent.
