Pension sharing
If you get divorced or dissolve your civil partnership, the court is
allowed to consider your additional State Pension as a financial asset,
which can be shared in a financial settlement through the making of
a pension sharing order. This means that part of the value of any
additional State Pension you have earned could be shared with a
former husband, wife or civil partner.
The court will need the details of any additional State Pension you
may be entitled to. Both parties will have to complete a separate
BR20 to enable all financial assets to be considered.
What is additional State Pension?
Additional State Pension is an amount you may be entitled to in
addition to your basic State Pension. It is based on your National
Insurance (NI) contributions and earnings since April 1978.
A lump sum valuation will give this information and will help the
court make a decision.
How do I get a lump sum valuation?
Fill in form BR20 and send it to the address below. You must
complete the form in full, in BLOCK CAPITALS, giving as much
information as possible.
If your valuation is more than 12 months old at the date of the court
hearing, you must apply for a new valuation, as this can change.
What happens to my additional State Pension?
If a pension sharing order is made, your additional State Pension may
either increase or decrease, depending on the decision of the court.
