Pension Payments

A question about : Pension Payments

Hi

I'm managing the estate and affairs for an elderly relative and trying to work out if the Dept Work & Pension state pension is paid in advance or arrears. Have not been able to get a clear reply from DWP.

My relative died on the same day as her pension was paid into her bank, hence me needing clarification.

Thanks in advance.

Best answers:

• State pension, if paid weekly is paid in advance if started before 6 April 2010.
