benefits calculator question - pension question

Hi all,

Wondering if you can help me figure out how to answer a question relating to some questions on the entitled to form on behalf of my mother?

Question we're stuck on is: "Last Year's Pensions Income" ("What was your annual income from a State, Occupational or Private Pension last year?").

Technically she didn't receive any pension income in tax year 15/16, but she has starting taking it as of July 2014.. So not sure what to put into this field.

Any help appreciated!

Many thanks!

Z

    Can you please check your post re dates.

    You are saying that she didn't receive any pension income in 15/16 but started taking it in July 2014 so would also be receiving it in 15/16?

    And what do you mean by technically?

    What benefit(s) is you mum trying to claim?
