Projections from the government's Office for National Statistics suggest that the rise in life expectancy over recent years is slowing down. 

The Government has confirmed that the basic State Pension will rise by 3.1% from April to £141.85 with the full state Pension increasing to £185.15.

MPs in the House of Commons have rejected proposals from the House of Lords to retain the State Pension Triple Lock.

The House of Lords voted last night to reject a controversial bill to suspend the Pensions Triple Lock.
