The basic State Pension and the new State Pension

You can claim the basic State Pension if you’re:

  • a man born before 6 April 1951
  • a woman born before 6 April 1953

If you were born later, you’ll need to claim the new State Pension instead.

You can find details on the new State Pension here: https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension
