Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the same uprating calculation will apply to the basic State Pension and the full rate of the new State Pension from April 2030; and whether both will receive the same percentage increase each year.

From April 2030, the adjusted Triple Lock will apply to the core contributory basic and new State Pensions. The value of the basic State Pension and the new State Pension will be increased by the highest of 2.5 per cent, Consumer Price Index inflation, or the increase needed to return or maintain the State Pension at the protected earnings level.
