<p>Under the new State Pension over three million women stand to receive an average
of £11 a week more State Pension by 2030.</p><p> </p><p>Around four percent of women
reaching State Pension age in the first ten years following implementation will be
affected by ending access to a derived basic pension while still married and/or when
widowed. The proportion falls to two percent or less for succeeding cohorts. We are
not able to provide an impact specifically on widows as the analysis does not separately
identify the proportion of those who are affected only while married because they
predecease their spouse.</p>
