Tax Code for 90 year old.

My relative is aged 90, their tax code for 2013/14 has just been received & the code has changed from 506Y to 96Y even though their income has only gone up in line with the usual pension increases.

On the 2012/13 notification the state pension/benefits is estimated at £5595, on the 2013/2014 notification the state pension/benefits is estimated at £9698.

The difference between the 2 amounts seems to be that the previous coding only included the basic state pension whereas the latest one includes; Pre 97 additional state pension, extra - basic state pension, graduated retirement benefit & age addition. These additional amounts add up to an extra £74 per week.

So my question is, which coding is correct? Should these extra amounts always have been included.

This is the first time I have ever checked their coding as it has never changed by this much before & I have always assumed it to be correct.
