The £13,000 Question: Why We're Still Getting State Pension Forecasts Wrong The UK tax authority recently surveyed 5,000 consumers and found that one in eight people have never checked how much money they'll receive from the state pension.
This is despite the fact that the current state pension is likely to top £13,000 a year. The survey highlights an alarming trend: people aged 45 54 are the most likely to have never checked their forecast.
The state pension system can be complex and confusing, particularly for those who have worked multiple jobs or taken career breaks.
