State Pension currently provides essential financial support for 12.6 million older people across the country, including more than one million retirees living in Scotland. This regular payment is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age, which is now 66 for both men and women, and have paid at least 10 years of National Insurance contributions.

Check whether you're entitled to any new benefits - you might be able to get benefits like Carer's Allowance, Housing Benefit or a Council Tax Reduction.
