evidence to establish their NINO. See DMG 02172 et seq for full guidance.

source-c042: DMG Vol 11 Ch 71: Reduced earnings allowance — PDF page 117

Official source · Exact excerpt and hashes

Reduced Earnings Allowance pension-age route; it is a different benefit from IIDB and needs continuation/historical qualifications.

71747   See DMG Chapter 75 for the meaning of pensionable age for RP purposes and
        DMG Chapter 74 for the meaning of pensionable age for SP purposes1.
                                                                      1 Pensions Act 1995, Sch 4, Part I, para 1


        Claimants who retired on or before 5.4.87

71748   Where on 5.4.87 a person

        1.    was of pensionable age and

        2.    had retired or was deemed to have retired from regular employment and

        3.    was entitled to REA

        the rate of REA could not be increased above the amount in payment on 5.4.871,
        nor could indexation be applied to an award2.
                                       1 SS (II) (REA & Trans) Regs 87, reg 5; 2 Social Security Act 1986, Sch 3

71749   Though the rate of REA could not increase above the rate payable immediately
        before 6.4.87 it could go down. If, for example, on renewal, a lower rate was found
        to be appropriate on comparison of earnings, the new award would reflect this. In
        these circumstances

        1.    there was nothing to prevent the rate subsequently increasing again on a
              renewal award but

        2.    the rate could never be greater than that payable on 5.4.87.

        Therefore each claimant affected by this limitation had a personal ceiling on the
        REA rate imposed.

71750   In cases where REA was reduced because the total IIDB and REA would otherwise
                                                       1
        have been greater than the 100% IIDB rate , the reduced rate payable immediately
        before 6.4.87 became the claimant’s upper limit for the future.
                                                                         1 SS (II & D) Misc Prov Regs 86, reg 9

source-c003: DMG Vol 12 Ch 74: State Pension — PDF page 1

Official source · Exact excerpt and hashes

Distinguishes new State Pension from retirement pension and routes old-regime research to chapter 75.

74001 This Chapter gives guidance on SP. SP is the legislative term for “new state pension” whereas the
legislative term for “old state pension” is RP. To be entitled to SP, a person must reach pensionable age

on or after 6.4.161. A person who reached pensionable age before 6.4.16 may be entitled to RP 2.


Note: See DMG Chapter 75 for guidance on RP.


                                                                  1 Pensions Act 14, s 1(2); 2 SS CB Act 92



Differences between state pension and retirement pension

Single-component pension
74002 Once the transition to the new SP is complete it will be a single-component pension in contrast to
RP which can consist of BP and AP and other components such as GRB or age addition.
