- More info While the triple lock annual increase kicked in over the weekend, some pensioners might not see the rise hitting their pockets until next month.
- Because the triple lock increase was only implemented over the weekend, anyone who received their state pension payments last week would have still received the old rate at £221.20 per week and will need to wait for their next payment in May for the new rate to kick in.
- This has left some retirees with as little as £20 a week compared to the full new state pension at £230.25 a week according to campaigners.
