Over 80's Pension

Posted by Mac Cummings on 22/3/2025, 10:31 am

How many of you are aware that an over 80's pension may be applied for subject to certain criteria.

If you do not get the basic State Pension or you get less than £101.55 a week, you could get the difference paid up to this amount.
This will sometimes be the case for ladies who left paid work to marry in teens /early 20's and bring up family and therefore did not build up the requisite NI record.
Take a look at this link for more detail
