flag UK state pension rises 4.1%, but expats and millions of under-pensioned face challenges.

flag The UK's state pension is set to rise by 4.1% in May 2025, benefiting millions of pensioners. flag However, around 500,000 older people, mostly expats in Commonwealth countries, will not receive this increase due to frozen pension policies. flag Campaigners are pushing for reforms to ensure expats receive the same benefits as those in the UK. flag Additionally, nearly nine million Britons are under-pensioned, with many at risk of retiring with insufficient savings, especially women and ethnic minorities. flag The government plans to raise the state pension age to 67 and eventually to 68, which may affect some retirees' benefits.
