August Pension Boost for Older UK Citizens | Leeds News

Get ready to see extra cash land in your bank account this August—some retirees could be getting a surprise boost of up to £230 per month thanks to an Additional State Pension payment from the Department for Work and Pensions. If you’re a man born before April 6, 1951, or a woman born before April 6, 1953, you might qualify. This “second pension,” also known as SERPS, was designed to top up your basic state pension and is still available to those who built it up before April 6, 2016—even if you’re now in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s. While new pension rules require 35 qualifying years for the full amount, older contributions still count. The maximum monthly payout can reach around £920 annually, offering a meaningful financial cushion for those who earned under the old system. Keep an eye on your statements—this one’s still paying dividends today. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
