for those on wpms a whole 35p increase and war pensions increase a whole 0.5% for 100% thats £1.00 for me thats 50p. my rent has just gone up 5% rates 4% and gas and electric i dont even want to think about. so 85p a week to cover all lol (more like manic laughter) the ap on an equivelent countryman i have now has gone up almost 100%. now unaffordable.
Mitch,
I am not sure where you got your figures from, but WPMS will increase by £2.15 to £72.00 per week (was £69.85) from April 2022.
Plus all War Pensions and Supplementary Allowances will rise by 3.1% – rounded to the nearest 1p.

I have a feeling you may have been looking at last years 0.5% increase figures?
