State Pension

in Cutting tax
My Mother has been asked to complete a short form tax return for the last tax year. Her income comprises: state pension (paid gross, I think), private pension and investment income. She is a basic rate tax-payer.
Because her state pension is paid every 4 weeks, the actual amount of state pension received during the tax year does not exactly match her state pension entitlement for the tax year. Which amount should go on the form? I feel that logically it should be the actual amount received, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the pension entitlement should be entered.
Grateful for any insight, folks.
