Re: Complexities of the Applying for the UK State Pension in the US
When filling our form IPC BR1 do you need to complete all of the detailed question on dates, homes and employers in the UK? I cannot possibly remember them!

I'd do it as best as you can.

+1 very easy.
Filled out form posted it back to the UK and three weeks later received a letter telling how much my pension was and when it would start.
Its paid tax free with no extra input from myself. I pay estimated tax quarterly in the US on my income, so I just add an amount to cover this pension. File the annual taxes, nothing more to it.
Don't claim SS yet but windfall tax is what it is. At the end of the day I'll receive some SS and what I get is what I get. I wouldn't say it's complex at all.
