The New State Pension in Wales is governed by the same UK-wide rules as in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your entitlement mainly depends on your National Insurance record: you usually need at least 10 qualifying years to receive any pension, while 35 years may be needed for the full rate, although transitional rules can affect individual cases. You can check your State Pension age and forecast, including any gaps in your record, through the official GOV.UK service. The amount you receive will depend on your own circumstances and the rules in force when you claim.
