Throughout 2022, there was uncertainty as to whether the policy would be reintroduced for the 2023/24 tax year, with the Government position appearing to change regularly amid political chaos that saw three different Prime Ministers in a matter of months.

People qualify if they are a woman born on or after April 6, 1953, or a man born on or after April 6, 1951. If you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016, you will instead get the basic State Pension. 3. Married Woman's Pension: The Married Woman's Pension is part of the basic State Pension. It allows women to get payments based on their spouse or civil partner's NI contributions.
