Notifying HMRC of State Pension

Qyburn

Hi,
What's the correct way to add the State Pension onto my personal tax account, so that they give out correct coding for my private pension?  I'm not convinced that "Add a missing pension" is correct, as they ask for the name of the pension company. Other options include "unearned income", "non coded income" or "other".

I'm pretty sure "non coded" is incorrect as that used appear but did not affect coding for other income, my employment still had the full S1257.

DWP notify HMRC. When is your first state pension payment ?

HMRC are directly notified of your state pension.

Have you just started receiving the State Pension? Mine started in January and about two weeks later I received a notice of coding that took the SP tax due from my private pension, no action required on my part. Apart from to cry!

Thanks, looks like I'm saved the trouble. I won't get it for a few months yet. We just had to go through updating Mrs.Q's DB pensions on her account, so thought I might as well do mine in advance as well.
