Chapter 6
Deferring the new State Pension
[ch 6: page 74]There are new rules for deferring or postponing a claim for the new State Pension. You can defer for at least nine weeks. Your state pension will increase by 1% for every nine weeks you put off claiming. This works out at just under 5.8% for every full year you put off claiming.
