As you have probably worked out - your friend can find out what state pension he'll get at https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension
He may be entitled to additional benefits - as previously suggested, check the benefits forum & also this website https://www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk/about-pensions/the-state-pension/other-state-benefits
