The new state pension replaced the basic and additional state pension for those who reach State Pension Age on or after 6 April 2016. I’m going to explain how your entitlement to the new state pension is calculated and what happens if you’re in the fortunate position where your state pension benefits are projected to exceed the amount of the new state pension. I will also explain how you can ensure you receive the full new state pension, if you’re currently projected to fall short.
