State Pension provides essential financial support every four weeks for 12.6 million people across the UK, including around one million living in Scotland.
This regular payment of up to £185.15 per week for the Full, new State Pension or £141.85 per week for the basic old State Pension (Category A or B) is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age, which increased to 66 for both men and women in October 2020.
However, two further increases have been set out in legislation and currently under review for a gradual rise to 67 for those born on or after April 1960 and a gradual rise to 68 between 2044 and 2046 for those born on or after April 1977, although recent reports suggest this may be brought forward to the late 2030s.
For anyone approaching the official age of retirement this year, it is essential to know which benefits will continue, new ones you may now qualify for and those you can no longer make a new claim for.Your State Pension age is the same as your Pension Credit age unless you are a man born before December 6, 1953.
