State retirement pension
Just a query on the off-chance that someone will know…....
How many years would a recently retired worker have to have worked in the UK in order to have entitlement to a state retirement pension of £60 per week?

In case this comes up for anyone else, I’ve answered my own question.
You currently need a minimum of 10 years contributions to get any payment at all and to work out how many years you’ve been credited with you divide the weekly award by 4.82.
So 12 1/2 - 13 years for my person.
