According to reports from the Swindon Advertiser and Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard, the full new state pension is set to exceed £13,000. This increase is attributed to the triple lock guarantee, which protects pension increases each year.

The triple lock guarantee ensures that the state pension rises by the highest of inflation, average earnings growth, or 2.5%, providing a safeguard for pensioners' income.

This adjustment reflects ongoing government commitments to maintain pension value against economic changes, as detailed in the recent coverage by both news outlets.
