What is the State Pension?
When a person reaches State Pension age, they are eligible to receive a regular payment from the government called the State Pension. Not everyone receive the same quantity. The amount you receive is determined by your National Insurance history. The State Pension makes up a small portion of many people’s retirement income. They might also have funds from earnings, other pensions, or a workplace pension.
How does the new State Pension work?
People’s National Insurance records serve as the foundation for the new State Pension. When they reach State Pension age, those without a National Insurance record before to April 6, 2016, will need to fulfill 35 qualifying years in order to receive the full amount of the new State Pension. Nonetheless, prior to April 6, 2016, the majority of people will have either made or been credited with National Insurance contributions. In most situations, their new State Pension upon reaching State Pension age will consider their National Insurance record from before 6 April 2016 onwards.
