Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my State Pension payment day?
Your payment day depends on the last two digits of your National Insurance number. 00-19 is Monday, 20-39 is Tuesday, 40-59 is Wednesday, 60-79 is Thursday, and 80-99 is Friday.
Is State Pension paid in arrears?
Yes, the State Pension is paid in arrears, meaning the payment you receive is for the previous 4 weeks, not the upcoming weeks.
Will the Triple Lock affect 2026 payments?
The Triple Lock determines the rate increase in April, but it does not change the frequency or the dates of your payments.
