sorry, I am trying to complete my mother's income tax return. I cannot locate the amount of pension for over 80's she received in 2014/2015.

Thanks for your help

    We cant answer that as there is no universal figure. She could have basic pension, graduated, SERPS, S2P (probably not the latter). She may have inherited rights as well. All these will impact on the amount paid.

    You could check a 2014/15 bank statement to see what was paid.

    Agreed - that is the most likely place to find the information for most current pensioners I think.

    Each year the DWP sends a statement showing how the various elements of the state pension are made up - have you checked her papers for this?
