State Retirement Pensions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she is taking steps to move those in receipt of the old state pension to the new one to help prevent financial hardship in winter 2024-25.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
The Government has no plans to move people from the old State Pension system to the new State Pension system.
It is not the case that everyone receiving the new State Pension (i.e. those reaching State Pension age on or after 6 April 2016) will receive more than those under the old State Pension system. Both systems reflect the National Insurance record of the individual. Therefore, the amount people receive varies.
