This implies the full new state pension will rise from £241.30 a week (about £12,500 a year) to £250.70 a week (about £13,000 a year) from next April. For the two-thirds of pensioners who reached qualifying age before April 2016 in receipt of the old basic state pension, it will mean a rise to £192.10 a week (about £9,990 a year).(对于2016年4月前达到领取年龄、领取旧基本国家养老金的三分之二退休人员,养老金将涨至每周192.10英镑(约每年9,990英镑)。)
这意味着从明年4月起,全额新国家养老金将从每周241.30英镑(约每年12,500英镑)涨至每周250.70英镑(约每年13,000英镑)。对于2016年4月前达到领取年龄、领取旧基本国家养老金的三分之二退休人员,养老金将涨至每周192.10英镑(约每年9,990英镑)。
