State pensioners born before 1951, currently under 75 years old, are set to receive an average of £966 per month following a recent change to the Triple Lock system by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This increase represents a significant rise in pension payments for those with a full National Insurance record. For new state pensioners with complete National Insurance contributions, weekly payments will increase from £230.25 to £241.
