This thread is intended for questions and issues re the UK State Pension.
The State Pension is a regular payment from the UK government that you can get when you reach State Pension age.
To get it you must have paid or been credited with National Insurance contributions.
The most you can currently get is £113.10 per week.
The basic State Pension increases every year by whichever is the highest:
earnings – the average percentage growth in wages (in Great Britain)
prices – the percentage growth in prices in the UK as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI)
2.5%
