- Every nine weeks deferred adds 1% to regular payments for life; a full year brings an increase of just under 5.8%.
- A full-year deferral raises the full new State Pension by £13.94 weekly to £255.24 in 2026/27, or £724.88 more annually.
- The DWP protects pensioners from tax bills when the triple lock lifts payments above the £12,570 allowance, but not when they defer.
- The Treasury says people with no other income and a full new or basic State Pension without increments will pay no income tax.
“Those with 'increments' on top of their state pension are likely to miss out on the government's new tax waiver for those wholly dependent on the state pension. This could cost them hundreds of pounds in the coming years.”— Sir Steve Webb warned that pensioners with deferred state pension increments could miss out on the new tax waiver.
