So £117 cheaper for Oct-Dec this year, and around £188 cheaper in Jan-Mar.
And the last State Pension rise was £900 in April 2024…

I don’t understand why they don’t delay it until they can find a way of targeting at those most in need (just ask HMRC for a file if those who have incomes of less than £nn,nnn, then match the payments on NI number).
