Extra pension after 80
Your pension goes up by a fifth at 80, and keeps going up after that
This is supposed to happen on its own, from the first day of the month you turn 80 — not your birthday, the first of that month. Banks miss it all the time. If yours did, you are owed every rupee since then, and we will work out how much.
