The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will increase state pension payments to £1,480 for certain pensioners in July. This notable rise is due to the payment schedule aligning with the calendar month, resulting in some pensioners receiving two payments within the same month.
Because Wednesday, July 1 falls on the first day of the month, and the DWP pays state pensions every four weeks, pensioners with a Wednesday payment date will receive one payment on July 1 and another four weeks later on July 28.
