Jersey old age pension tops £16,000 a year after 4.7% increase

Jersey pensioners are to receive an increase of £734 a year to their old age pension as a top-up comes into effect.

The Government of Jersey said the 4.7% increase, an additional £14 per week for someone on a full pension, would bring the overall sum to £16,294 per year.

The pension is updated every October by at least the recorded increase in the pensioner retail price index for June.

Minister for Social Security Senator Elaine Millar said further support, including cold weather payments and free TV licences, would be available for those on low incomes.
