Claim: Under the Conservatives, the state pension had risen by £3,700—and is increasing another £900 this year.
Fact-check: Conservative tweet about state pension increases combines new and basic rates - Full Fact
Verdict: the figures refer to two different things. the £900 figure only refers to the increase in the new state pension between 2023/24 and 2024/25. the £3,700 figure refers to the basic  state pension, and correctly gives the difference between 2010 and 2024/25.
