Your State Pension Explained
The Department for Work and Pensions has updated their guide entitled "Your State Pension Explained", which can be downloaded from the link below.
In our experience we have found a number of cases where individuals have not been credited with the correct number of qualifying years for the State Pension. We therefore strongly recommend obtaining a forecast and checking any years when you did not build up a credit. This can be done online, and my article at the link below explains how to do this.
Comment
If you are not yet in receipt of your State Pension, we would urge you to register for a Personal Tax Account. This will allow us to help you check your State Pension entitlement, deal with any gaps in your NI record, and incorporate your entitlement into your Financial Plan.
