Why is the pension rising?
The state pension is protected by the 'triple lock' guarantee. This means it rises each April by the highest of three measures: inflation, average earnings growth, or 2.5%. This year, the 3.9% increase reflects the highest of these, ensuring pensioners' incomes keep pace with living costs.
