The ‘Over 80 Pension’ provides up to £110.75 per week to those who receive little or no basic State Pension. Unlike the standard State Pension, this top-up does not depend on National Insurance contributions. However, to qualify, you must have been ordinarily resident in the UK, Isle of Man, or Gibraltar for at least ten years within the 20-year period leading up to your 80th birthday or the date you make the claim.
