State Pension provides essential financial support every month for around 12.4 million people across the UK, including 981,399 Scots and for some, it is their only source of income during their retirement years.
This regular payment is delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age and paid enough National Insurance Contributions, which is now 66 for both men and women.
People eligible for the full, new State Pension currently receive £179.60 per week while anyone on the 'old' basic State Pension (category A or B), is paid £137.60 per week.
The type of State Pension that a person can claim will depend on their date of birth. Men born before April 6, 1951 and women born before April 6, 1953 can claim the basic State Pension - those born after these dates follow the new State Pension rules.
People who are eligible to claim the new State Pension can do so once they have reached their State Pension age.
Once someone reaches State Pension age they can defer payments if they choose to carry on working.
Doing this will actually increase payments when they eventually decide to claim. On top of this, there is nothing stopping people claiming State Pension while continuing to work.

A State Pension won't just end when someone dies, you need to do something about it.
When the person dies, you must inform the Pension Service so that payments stop - You can ring the Pension Service helpline on 0800 731 0469.
You may be entitled to extra payments from your deceased spouse's or civil partner's State Pension.
