depends how much cost of living goes up - fuel bills, food and all the other necessaries - maybe they anticipating a rise in costs.. either that or is it empty promises by somebody, we've had all sorts of unfeasible policies suggested with election on the cards!

Would you like him as much if he was your son in law...?

And besides, this announcement,
Now, with an election coming up,
With conservative core vote being,
Those on pensions,

Coincidence...?

These are politicians,, doing what politicians do...?

piethorne

weetinamc It'll probably go up in line with inflation as it's meant to match the basic new state pension, but it's likely it won't get announced until April 2020.

My mother will be happy so thanks for the heads up.

Yeah but they keep on increasing retirement age.
For people now in their 30’s or 40’s,we will probably not receive it until at least 70 years of age .
