Additional State Pension

From 6 April 2002 SERPS was updated from a system which originally only provided for employees of companies as it was based on your National Insurance contributions record, to provide an increased additional State Pension for low to moderate income earners. Certain carers and people with long-term illness or disability are also entitled. This is now called the State Second Pension.

This is for the benefit of those who have paid graduated NI Contributions between April 1961 and April 1975. You will receive £9.21 for every £7.50 paid (if you are male) or £9 paid (if you are female).
