I am just completing Pensions and Annuities form for the ESA. They state: "We need to know about any pension or annuity income that you and your partner may get. It may affect the amount of benefit that you are paid.
My question:
Do they mean any pension or annuity that I elect to be paid to my partner from my personal occupational pension?
or
do they mean they need to know my partners own personal occupational pension?
I ask this as we have our own occupational pensions from our respective jobs. We do not have any annuities either together or separately.
I assume you are talking about ESA1 form. On the application form there is a column for you and a column for your partner, in your column you need to add any income and pensions you receive no matter how small monthly or annually, including stocks and shared and premium bonds. if you are unsure what to put down then add the information at the back of the form page 50 part 23 but reference it on the pensions page so they know where to look.
