State Pensions
The Basic State Pension is a government-administered pension that may be claimed when you reach State Pension age, and is based on the number of qualifying years gained through National Insurance contributions you've made throughout your working life. However, there are also a number of additional benefits that may be claimed, such as Pension Credit, the Over 80 Pension and the Additional State Pension.
