Totally confused over pension
Comments

Ask him to marry you.....quick.
If married you can claim 60% state pension, then when he pops his clogs, you inherit 100% of it.....
Be a bit romantic though ha ha.
Anniemake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

:eek: Oh my word, I've never understood pensions or anything , that's why I was so confused when a friend told me to try and claim benefits.
I'm obviously very naive to things, will be having a chat with him later... Lol
I've never wanted to get married tho, but obviously 'common law wife' has no standing with pensions etc...
So if he dies before me, unless he leaves me millions, I'm gonna be !!!!!!ed :eek:"I live my dream today, I lived it yesterday and I'll be living yours tomorrow":smileyhea
If you don't want to work, you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work0 -

Something else to think about - does he own the house you live in? If the latter, then you would not inherit it if he died unless he had made a will leaving it to you (assuming you are in England).gorgeousgeorge wrote: »:eek: Oh my word, I've never understood pensions or anything , that's why I was so confused when a friend told me to try and claim benefits.

No he doesn't own house we live in, it's social housing, and just in my name as I lived here before we became a couple 18 years ago."I live my dream today, I lived it yesterday and I'll be living yours tomorrow":smileyhea

Plus my wife gets £69 a week based entirely on my pension (she has never worked) as a freebie.
The OP will reach SPA in single tier - even if she marries now she should see https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/181235/derived-inherited-entitlement.pdf
