State pension payments of £921 are arriving for pensioners in November. The Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) is preparing to distribute payments to elderly recipients throughout the second-to-last month of the year.

A DWP increase, which came into force at the beginning of the 2025/26 financial year in April, boosted the full basic State Pension to £176.45 per week and lifted the full new State Pension to £230.25 per week.
