Your state pension

The State scheme is in two parts — the State Basic Pension and the State Second Pension. Both are paid from State Pension Age (currently age 65 for men and 60 for women but this will be equalised to age 65 for all in the period from 2010 to 2020).

Section 1 of the Plan is not contracted out of the State Second Pension and therefore you will normally receive the State Basic Pension and the State Second Pension in addition to your Plan benefits.
