I know that, but if the rise had been brought forward, one would still have 80% of it.0 -

You may be better served by having a look around for another savings account which pays better interest. I've recently done so. With age-related personal tax allowance I'm no longer paying any tax so I transferred the funds in my cash ISA into an internet saver account which is paying better interest than the cash ISA.
I am a tax-payer.0 -
That's not what I said!
True.Those weren't your words .What you said was
"that we don't get the rise brought forward 3 months as implied in Darling's less-than-specific speech in The Commons."
You are getting £60 paid instead of the rise being paid week by week from Jan to April and after that the rise will be paid as part of your State Pension . Do you mean you thought the rise would be paid from Jan and the £60 paid on top? If so then I can understand that as that was my initial thought but I soon realised the true situation .0 -
The £60 payments are being made starting from the Monday 12th January... don't spend it all at once !0
