Teeters is a bit out on the tax rate.

Basic rate 20% - £0 to £31,785 - People with the standard Personal Allowance start paying this rate on income over £10,600
Add your annual state pension to the annual military pension, deduct the 10600 and see what 20% of the remaining figure is. If it's £50 (ish) there's the answer
