💨 Abstract
Life expectancy disparities across regions in the UK result in significant variations in state pension payouts. Pensioners in wealthier areas, like Hart in Hampshire, receive about £210,000 more in lifetime state pension payments compared to those in deprived areas, such as Blackpool. This difference arises because wealthier individuals generally live longer, benefiting from the triple lock system for annual increases.
