State Pension P60

I’ve been going around in circles on Google trying to find out how to access my UK State Pension P60. I’m registered on the UK Government Gateway and thought that I might have access from there, but no. Can anyone help please?

    I don't believe you get one as , although the income is taxable,  it doesn't fall under PAYE. 
    DWP pass the payment info directly on to HMRC.

    There isn't one. You simply need to add up the state pension payments receivable during the tax year (assuming you need it for a self assessment tax return) and use that figure. Don't worry if you get it a bit wrong; HRMC has, as Pooh points out, already got the information and will automatically correct any error when you submit your return. Pity they can't pre-populate the form...
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Thank you both. Yes, just adding up the payments is the obvious way. Thanks again.

    As comes up from time to time on this board, unlike any other income HMRC tax you on the amount of state pension due, not necessarily as yet paid out. I believe the correct calculation to use is for 1 week at the old rate (for the first week of the tax year) and 51 at the new rate.
