DWP confirms stance on plans to means-test State Pension payments - correction

An article on 29 October 2025 carried the headline ‘DWP confirms state pension means-testing plans as UK faces major change’. This implied that there were plans to means-test the state pension. The correct position is set out in the opening paragraph of the article, namely that there are no plans to do so. This correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
