If anyone has a right to mutter 'What's the point?', surely it's @hugheskevi - who clearly spent ages writing a beautifully clear model answer, although others posting can also be excused for wondering the same thing.

To quote my dad, "What's that got to do with hens back teeth?" The link you provided was for pensioner income, not income from the state pension. This thread doesn't make any sense which you seem to have recognised yourself.

On the contrary, the chart at that link headed "Distribution of income from selected income sources for all pensioners in receipt, FYE 2024 (£ per week) - State Pension" is state pension income.

This chart, which was shared earlier:

The accompanying text reads:

Almost all pensioners (98%) received income from State Pension, with an average amount of £216 per week. Some peaks in the distribution may be explained by the basic State Pension rate, which was £156.20 per week in FYE 2024, as well as the new State Pension full rate, which was £203.85.

You probably owe the OP an apology?
