My state pension started this month. I too was contracted out, so I get the minimum "fully paid up" state pension, however, in being contracted out my DB pension scheme paid an enhanced pension step up from age 65 which was the pension age when I joined my scheme.

Dont forget the more state pension you get, the more tax you pay on your other pensions, because it eats into your tax allowance.
