If you’re married or in a civil partnership, you might be able to claim a pension based on your partner’s record. But this only applies if you reached state pension age before 6 April 2016.
For the new system, it’s all about your own record. So being a power couple won’t boost your pension—sadly, no romantic pensions here.
Divorced? Your ex’s contributions can help if your marriage ended and you haven’t remarried before pension age. It’s a little legal hug from the past.
