Have you received your increased pension/pension credit today?

If your state pension / pension credit was credited to your bank account today - was it at the new April 2016 - 17 rate or your old April 2015 - 16 rate?

I'm not sure about pensions, but most benefits are paid in arrears so any change doesn't show until two (or four, depending on the benefit) weeks after it came in.

Old rate. Not expecting new rate for a while

i didn't think new rates apply until 6th april anyway ( beginning of the new financial year) then paid in arrears

New uprating applies from 11th April this year ��

Benefits are paid in arrears so the uprate will not be paid for a few weeks

Yes it normally takes until May until they are all settled down at the new rates as they are paid in arrears
