yes, but its very little. He will only get that if he retires at 60 and been resident ( brit cit) for almost ever. Why would you want a state pention? Ask him to put money in private pension scheme, surely he can afford it. But anyway, you are enquiring something that is due to happen in the next 40 years. A bit early.

All uk citizens are entitled to claim Income Support if they have no income and fall below a savings/assets threshold. So certainly if your brother becomes a citizen, he should qualify to apply for this and will receive it if he meets the conditions every other citizen needs to meet.
I am unclear on the rules regarding whether he can claim purely as a permanent resident, though in most countries, such rights are generally given within 2-5 years. It should be easy enough to find out from the Department of Social Services.

They're right! I moved there from California in 2001, and applied through the home Office for the right to work..etc.. (The equivlent of a Green Card). I am now a "Dual Citizen" of the U.S/U.K, but I would have had to work for many many years before I would get THIER pention; however, there was a way to transfer what I paid into the system in the United States to the U.K. so it wouldn't take as long; but we moved back here and my wife bacame a "Dual Citizen" of the United States instead. (A much better deal for me AND her).. Good luck to your brother; he'll need it.
Check with what they call the "Home Office".. in the U.K. There's plenty of information on the web. But the waiting times make the States look like a Drag Race!

Hopefully, your brother will need to work for the next 50 years before he can receive a state pension.

i doubt anyone will get a pension in the uk in a few years time. unless they live untill about 97. and even then it will be worthless.

Just because someone asks about pension doesn't mean they came with the intent to live on UK welfare. Get off your high horses already. It is fine to ask what his brother's legal rights are.
