[Teddy Eagle]

Is that twenty fags at Eton,your busy. 😱

Nah. My school was more comprehensive than that.

I was kidding. Well, kidding about everything save dying at my desk.

The Gateway website informs me I have paid enough years. Is that not definitive?

And spouse can be topped up if they are short of years.

The state pension in full will be£900 every four weeks is that enough to cover your bills?

No! But...

I have a moderate private pension and worked in the public sector for 15 years.

And my wife is younger than I and has expressed no desire to slow down.

I won't starve...

...if I retire.

Food bank nearby?

Pardon?

In general it's worth checking that both have no missing years that can be topped up.

A question.

What UK 'Basic State Pension' entitlements would Footballer Angel di Maria have ? because.....

a) its tiny cos he only paid-in for one year.

b) it should be massive. Cos he paid in more tax-money than most plebs do in a lifetime

My missus who is 62 had a letter at w/e to inform her she will now have to wait till she is 68 to claim her pension.

My wife in same position due to government moving the goalposts. And of course, when you are in opposition you can say that you will implement the WASPI outcome, but change your mind when you are in power. You can’t hate this government enough.

Loads of people have pensions they'd forgotten about after contracting out of serps.

If you have any paperwork at all, or can at least remember the name of your former employer(s), this site will help you find them.......

Find pension contact details

Find the contact details for a pension provider by using the Pension Tracing Service

www.gov.uk

They contact the employer who then writes to you directly if you have anything to claim from their funds.

I used it for an old one where there had been multiple mergers, sales of the company etc., and they still managed to trace it!
