Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans he has to review the level of the Age Addition of 25p per week payable for the State Pensions from 80th birthday to pensioners.

The 25 pence a week Age Addition is a longstanding part of the old State Pension, for those who reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016, and is paid with their State Pension, when they reach the age of 80.

The Age Addition is not part of the new State Pension, but for those people who reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016, the 25 pence Age Addition under the existing rules will continue.
