State pension annual statement ?

After some Googling, I think I'm right in saying that NO P60 is issued for the state pension.
A simple calculation should be the monthly (4week) payment x 13, but does the pension ever change mid FY or does it remain the same throughout the year?
I also read that one could enrol for a statement using the Government Gateway:
Quote: If you DO already have a Government Gateway account You can enrol for the State Pension statement service straight away if you already have a Government Gateway account. For example, you may have an account because you use another government online service (eg HMRC service). If so, you can use your existing Government Gateway user ID and password. However, to use the State Pension statement online service, you will still need to register and wait for your activation code to come through the post. This activation code only needs to be used once and is provided for your added security. UnQuote
I've logged on but I'm unable to see a link etc. The quote above could have been more helpful and described exactly where on the site and how it's done.
Please, could someone advise me
Thanks

Correct there is no P60.Before the start of the year you will get a letter detailing your new weekly pension.For tax purposes you use the number of weekly amounts due, not paid, between 6th and 5th April and as the new payment rate does not start until the second week in April means it is 1 week at old rate and 51 at new rate. That is the only "mid year" change in the pension.If you have access to your on line tax account, there are different Government Gateway accounts and not all have the same log in https://www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services , there is a link to your pension forecast down the front page. When you are in receipt of your pension your tax account will show the amount notified by DWP for the year.Have you tried going via this link ? https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension

Yes I tried the link and yes I am in receipt of my state pension since 2013. Molerat has kindly answered the questions I had, ie, is a P60 produced for state pension - No, and the projected figure is the one to use on SA.
Thanks again.Butt Spelle Chequers Two Khan Make Awe Full Miss Steaks1
