State Pensions

In this section you will find useful information on the UK State Pension. There is information on how to claim your pension, the options on deferral, how to pay voluntary contributions and what to do if you have a complaint.  You can also find out about credits, bereavement benefits and Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP).

The State Pension is administered and paid by the Pension Service, part of the Department for Work & Pensions.

Managing Your Money - A Health Check

Whatever the situation with your finances, it's good to know where you stand and that you are making the most of what you have. The health check, a new online money planner from the Money Advice Service, is for everyone.
