State Pension Forecast

Alice_Holt

Does anyone know if a forecast requested as of now, will include data up to the end of the 2015/6 tax year? (i.e. show my final "foundation" amount for the old SP).

Thanks

Thanks, I'll leave it a bit longer before I apply (off-line) for my SP.

I want to know my "foundation" amount under the old SP rules.

I don't think they tell you whether the starting (foundation) amount is higher under the new or the old rules. They just give you the starting amount. At least that's what I got, both on paper and online.

Are actually claiming your state pension or just asking for a forecast?

Yes, it is just the starting amount I need.
Over the last few years I have been contracted in to the S2P element under the old rules, so it would be handy to know my starting point.
Under the nSP, I know that each year of qualifying NI contributions currently adds £4.45 onto that amount (up to the £155). At least, that seems more straightforward to understand than SERPS & S2P.
