What is this government thinking?

Pension now is just over £119 a week, going up to £155 in April for new claimants only, now I know it depends on if you have the full contributions and that it has gone back to 35 years from 30 again, but I think most newly retired will be better off.
Isn't it all to do with them changing the retirement age, the extra money meant to make up for having to wait longer for it?
