    I'll assume you are referring to the £22,000 pension you have been awarded.

    Your pension is a form of taxable income and you will have your tax-free allowances on it as normal so the first £5435 will not be taxed. Don't forget any other taxable income such as savings interest (especially if you also got a lump sum) and dividend payments.
