ABSTRACT
The conditions of entitlement to both the basic state pension and SERPS and the way in which they are calculated and paid are contained in the ss 44-48 of the Social Security Contribution and Benefits Act (SSCBA) 1992 and ss 49-52 of the Social Security Administration Act (SSAA) 1992. These two enactments consolidate all previous legislation, principally the Social Security Act 1975 and the Social Security Act 1986.
