When you set up as additional income, did you select "UK State pension", or did use "Other Income"? Did you set up for your spouse as well? I use Sunset edition in the U.S., but there is an actual category for New
Income called "Social Security benefits" known as a government benefit, and it sounds like your planner doesn't recognize your gov't benefit as having been selected.
When i set up "any additional income" it states what type of income do you want to add .The category for state pension benefits is the covered by "other income",there is no category on its own for UK state pension. So i think you
are right the UK version of Money 2005 does not have a separate category for state pension benefits alone.
One other question ! i have got my final salary pension set up on the section as if i was a paid employee on a yearly basis, which then asks what events will affect your salary. Am i doing this wrong as i have been retired from full time employment for 14
years. Should i delete this section and include my final salary pension on the "any additional income" section with my UK state pension. Many thanks for responding to my predicament.
