2022-08-30. State pension paid on programme. ( You got it wrong ) State pension is £185.15 a week. Basic state pension is £141.85 a week. =£43.40 a week or £173.20 a month difference. Bills, food, fuel, gas & electric etc. Same price, no discount. Send your reporter out & ask your guests on your report if they can live on £141.85 a week as you claim & not £185.15, as a lot of pensioners are on. We live in a 2 tier pension scheme, which will only get worse with percentage increases. Your report on this subject is one sided to pensioners, i hope you can next time put out the correct information to all parties involved.
