Your local council normally cannot issue a State Pension forecast, as this is handled by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). You can check your forecast and National Insurance record through the official GOV.UK State Pension forecast service, or contact the Future Pension Centre for guidance. A council may be able to help you use online services or signpost local support, but it cannot decide your State Pension entitlement. Check GOV.UK for the latest contact details and eligibility information.
