<\/p>
People reaching State Pension age before 6 April 2016 could be entitled to a basic State Pension and an additional State Pension. The full amount of the basic State Pension (£122.30 a week for 2017/18) was reached after 30 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions or credits. The amount of additional State Pension was based on earnings over a full working life and its value ranges from £0.01p a week to over £160 a week. Legislation requires that the basic State Pension is uprated by at least the increase in earnings each year and the additional State Pension by at least the increase in prices.<\/p>
<\/p>
The new State Pension replaced the old system for people reaching State Pension age from 6 April 2016 with a single pension which, after a transition period which recognises people\u2019s National Insurance records in the old system, will require 35 qualifying years to achieve the full amount of £159.55 a week. Legislation requires the new State Pension is uprated by at least earnings each year.<\/p>
<\/p>
As set out in The single-tier pension: a simple foundation for saving (Command 8528), <\/em>the objective of the new State Pension is to provide a foundation for private saving by individuals and is designed to deliver an amount set at or above the level of the weekly means test which most people should be able to achieve. The new State Pension system has been designed to provide a simpler, sustainable system for decades to come, correcting some of the historic unfairness in the previous system, in particular for women, self-employed people and lower paid workers.<\/p>"}
