Did you know that recently there have been far-reaching legislative changes affecting future Basic State Pensions? These changes may well affect your claim. Read more on the new UK government website: www.directgov.co.uk
If you prefer not to go on the Government Websites, the absolute minimum starting point is that you must have
- Lived in the UK for 3 consecutive years
AND
- Worked and paid National Insurance stamps in the UK.
Thereafter, please see How Does This Work
Please bear in mind that the BSP depends on at least the above and that British Citizenship is not required.
Although these recent legislative changes dramatically improve pensions for those who reach pension age after April 5, 2010, at least 50% of our successful claims are for people already over pension age.
There are other circumstances under which you may be able to claim a British State pension. Please let us know if you are in any doubt.
