The State Pension
As with many state benefits, what ought to appear a quite straightforward entitlement can get very complicated indeed.
There is the basic state pension that everyone will receive if they have paid enough National Insurance. Until 2046, people will receive this between the ages of 60 and 68 depending on your sex and how old you are.
Apart from the basic pension, there are other “add-ons” that may boost your income, such as “Graduated”, and “Second State Pension” (formerly SERPS). The level of spouse’s pensions can depend on the year when the husband or partner reached 65.
The number one question most people want to know is “How much am I likely to get?”
The number two question most people want to know is “When will I get it?”
