State benefits, pensions and related manuals

We have some useful questions and answers and links to information from a variety of sources relating to state benefits, pensions and related manuals.  To make it easier to find we've put it all on this page.

On this page you will find articles, manuals and calculators covering:

Bereavement support payments

Bereavement Support Payment replaced Bereavement Allowance, Widowed Parent’s Allowance and Bereavement Payment. The benefit is paid at one of two rates depending on whether the claimant is responsible for children.

Employment and Support Allowance

Read our top questions on Employment and Support Allowance.

HMRC manuals

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) produce a number of manuals for their staff. The guidance contained in these manuals is not comprehensive nor will it provide a definitive answer in every case.

State pensions and calculators

 

GOV.UK calculators

 

 New State Pension

The new State Pension replaced the basic State Pension in April 2016. Existing benefits will be protected.
