1197 - State Pension (the amount due for the year not the weekly amount)

Please enter the full amount you were entitled to for the year, but take off:

• any addition for a dependent child
• the Christmas bonus
• the winter fuel payment
• any reduction in the payments, perhaps for time spent in hospital

The figure to enter is the total of your weekly entitlements, even if you were paid monthly or quarterly. If you do not know the figure please phone Pensions Direct on Tel: 0845 301 3011 and ask for Form BR735 for the year 6 April 2008 to 5 April 2009.

As well as your basic pension, the entry should include:

• any graduated pension
• the age addition if you are over 80
• increases paid by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to uprate a guaranteed minimum pension
• any addition for a dependent adult
• any extra pension paid because you deferred or temporarily gave up your State Pension

Married women

You should include any State Pension payable to you because of your husband's National Insurance Contributions.
