UK to raise State Pension by 4.1%, but delays and exclusions affect some recipients.

The UK's Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) plans to announce new benefit rates on March 6th, with a 4.1% increase for State Pension recipients and a 1.7% rise for working-age and disability benefits, effective April 7th. However, most claimants will see the changes in their payments in May due to a four-week delay. Notably, about 453,000 pensioners living abroad without reciprocal social security agreements will not receive the State Pension uprating.
