Some pensioners can expect a rise
Pensioners across the UK should now expect a record rise in the payments very soon. For those on the new State Pension, there will be an increase from £185.15 per week to £203.85 per week starting from Monday, April 10.
The remaining 9.7million get the old basic State Pension that was in place before April 2016. This pays out £141.85, going up to £156.20 from April 10. Paid every four weeks, it will see £624.80 go into accounts. That's almost £200 less per month than the new pension. For the old basic State Pension, if you're a man you usually need 30 qualifying years if you were born between 1945 and 1951, and 44 qualifying years if you were born before 1945. And if you're a woman you usually need 30 qualifying years if you were born between 1950 and 1953, and 39 qualifying years if were born before 1950.
"Shortly after retiring the number of years of contributions needed for the old basic State Pension was reduced to 30 and I just missed out on qualifying. It means that I do not get the full rate of the old State Pension and was too born too early to get the higher amount of the full new State Pension."
