Be entitled to, have right to do

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask you about the differences between these two. I write the examples:

1. You will be entitled to get a pension when you turn 65.

2. You will have the right to get a pension when you turn 65.

Now I consider just this cases and not all the meanings of these two words (entitle, right) .

I think there isn't a significant difference but I'm still waiting for a comfirmation from you. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I agree that there isn't a significant difference in this case. In both sentences, "get" is not necessary: one can be entitled to something (a pension) or to do something (get a pension).
