Over 80 Pension


This only applies if you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016.


If you are aged 80 or over and receive little or no State Pension, you may be able to apply for the ‘Over 80 Pension’.



Do National Insurance contributions count?

The 'Over 80 Pension' is not based on National Insurance contributions but you must have been resident in the UK, Isle of Man or Gibraltar for 10 years out of 20 (including the day before you turned 80 and afterwards).

Note that as this would count as taxable income, it may affect certain other benefits you’re receiving. Seek advice if needed. You can receive guidance from one of our advisers, or arrange a free benefits check, by emailing [email protected]
