The DWP has announced the new increase rate for deferring state pension for those reaching state pension age after 5 April 2016.
Instead of the current annual increase rate of 10.4% (1/5% a week), the new rate will be just under 5.8% (1/9% a week).
The Government Actuary’s Department advice was that 5.7% would be the “lowest value of actuarially fair rate of increment”. For more information please click here.
