Will moving house affect my New State Pension and who do I need to tell?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Moving to a different address in the UK does not normally change your New State Pension entitlement or payment. You should tell the Pension Service about your new address so letters and important information reach you; you can do this through the relevant GOV.UK State Pension contact service. If you move abroad, different rules may apply, including how your State Pension is increased, so contact the International Pension Centre. Moving house can also affect separate benefits, such as Pension Credit or Council Tax Support, so check each scheme’s rules.
