    Of course its a benefit.
    As you say, its todays workers that pay for the state pension.
    You wouldnt say someone who is on JSA contribution based is not on a benefit would you. That also gaurantees to pay out based on contributions.

    so a 80 year old pensioner with 50+ years contributions wasnt joining a guaranteed pension scheme as promised then?
