State pensioners are due to benefit from a whopping seven freebies and discounts worth an eye-watering £2,500. The Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) State Pension claimants can benefit from a string of freebies and discount schemes once they reach State Pension age. Times columnist Robert Crampton explains State Pensioners can save up to £2,500 a year.
State Pension age has been changing. State Pension age has been increasing for women to match the State Pension age for men. From December 2018, State Pension age increased for both men and women to the age of 66.
From 2026, it will be increased again. There are now two types of State Pension: the Basic State Pension for people who reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016 and New State Pension for people who reach State Pension age on or after 6 April 2016.
