State pension: Many unaware of benefit entitlement - could it be costing you over £1,500?

STATE pension can be received by anyone who has hit state pension age and has a minimum national insurance contribution of 10 years. The amount a person will receive from their state pension will depend on how much national insurance they have paid. This may lead many to be disappointed with how low their payments are but many may have access to additional benefits in retirement that they are not aware of. »
