Just received my April state pension. An increase of 2.5%. I was hoping for the 10.1% increase - greedy me.

This may help to explain why you won't get the full increase until next month.

I had a letter from UK Pensions explaining that the new rate including the 10.1% would be used as from the day after my April pension paydate. Therefore expect it to be reflected in my May pension payment.

Just remember folks what they give you with one hand they can take part of it away with the other!
Found that my increase will take my annual total over the tax free allowance so I will end up paying more tax on my company pension.
Still happy to be getting the extra.
