Older state pensioners are getting £2,797 less from the Department for Work and Pensions or DWP . Under a two-tier benefits system from the DWP, older state pensioners risk losing THOUSANDS to the government.

Men born before April 6, 1951, and women born before April 6, 1953, receive the basic State Pension, which is currently worth £176.45. But men and women born after these dates get the new State Pension instead which is worth £230.25 per week.

Over a full year, those getting the basic State Pension can receive a maximum of £9,175.40, while younger pensioners on the new scheme get £11,973 - a jaw-dropping £2,797.60 difference.
