Frequently Asked Questions

A Married Persons State Pension Top-Up is an increase to your State Pension that some married people may be entitled to if their pension was not correctly calculated using their spouse’s National Insurance record. In certain cases, this can mean you qualify for a higher weekly pension and potentially receive backdated payments for pension that was underpaid.

You may qualify if you:
● Are currently married
● Are over State Pension age
● Your State Pension may not have been reassessed using your spouse’s National Insurance contributions
● Your pension was calculated only on your own National Insurance record when you may have been entitled to a higher amount based on your spouse’s contributions

Processing times can vary depending on the review required by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). In many cases, reviews may take several weeks to a few months depending on the complexity of the pension record.

The increase depends on your spouse’s National Insurance record. Some successful cases may receive around £50–£100 extra per week added to their State Pension, although amounts can vary.

Yes. If it is found that your pension has been underpaid, payments can sometimes be backdated for several years. This means some people may receive a lump sum of around £6,000 or more, depending on how long the underpayment occurred.
