Tax on small LGPS pension

You could try logging on to your personal tax account.  You may find a PAYE box has appeared on there and it should show you the payment and any tax deducted from it.  It may also show an estimate for the total pension this tax year and any tax on it.

they have taxed the payment taken £80 off of 404.88 as I expected. They have my annual income for this tax year as £1,677.

so I guess I am back to the original question of the post will this resolve itself or do I need to fill in some forms

To deduct that tax it looks like they have used the "new employee no declaration" code of 0TW1 which is a bit of a bummer.  With an X suffix code in place you will not get that tax back through PAYE.  With no other income streams this year you should tell HMRC to allocate the full allowance on a cumulative basis which will recover that tax on the next payment.

Which in itself is very unusual as the op is taking his LGPS pension, not starting a new employment.
