An online petition urging the UK Government to increase the current Basic State Pension payment rate from £156.20 to £203.85 each week has now passed the 10,000 signature threshold and is entitled to an official written response, most-likely from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
More than 10,190 people have signed the e-petition at the time of writing, calling for the Basic and New State Pension payments to be aligned.
Nearly 12.7 million people across the UK or living abroad are in receipt of the State Pension, which includes 9.3m on the Basic and 3.4m on the New.
State Pensions are set to rise by 8.5 per cent from April 8, which means that someone on the full rate of the Basic State Pension will see payments go up from £156.20 per week to £169.50 - £678 each four-weekly pay period.
